It doesn't really fit in with what Cygwin tries to do (IIRC > it comes from Strawberry Perl, which is Windows native). I'd have to go back and look as to why it was wanted/needed. I'd say if it still builds and works with my changes, then ship it, if not, either let someone else pick it up, or drop it. -- Yaakov
