  Hi!  I'll tell you what I did.  I have a vanilla instalation of gnu-win32
beta 18 in my c:\cygnus directory.

I put all the executables in c:\cygnus\H-i386-cygwin32\i386-cygwin32\bin
I put the libraries in c:\cygnus\H-i386-cygwin32\i386-cygwin32\lib
I put the headers in c:\cygnus\H-i386-cygwin32\i386-cygwin32\include

Then I unpacked the gnu terminfo database to the default directory.

This seemed to work fine for me.  The code I was trying to build was an old
termcap app though, so I have not yet tested the functionality of this
ncurses port.

I would be more than happy to work on an FAQ of some sort with you, and put
it on my web server.  It would be great to have more documentation, and to
make old documentation easier to read.

Ben.
