I have to agree - I started this report just to have *anything*.
If it will grow to lets say more than 100 packages, I have to think
about putting it into a database or something like that.

I hope though, that until this time most GNU packages will have their
own [GNU|Cyg]Win32 build rules , so that this report won't be necessary
any more.

Bye.
Michael.
