  Hi Folks,

  brief newbie question:

  I'm trying to build python and the configure script reports that it
  can't find tr and cat
  I've been downloading packages piecemill because I have a slow modem
  connection, but I've tried getting a few likely packages without nabbing
  those two so I thought I'd ask for help.

  Thanks in advance,
  ~Simon

     For cygwin packages that are just ports of GNU packages, you can 
find this info at

        <GNU mirror>/ProgramIndex or <GNU mirror>/DESCRIPTIONS

, where <GNU mirror> is one of the mirror sites listed at

        http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html

For a general answer to which cygwin package contains the binary for 
X, I don't know where to look.
