What a great offer! I've never dreamt of that.
To tell the truth, however, I'm not a programmer, I'm quite new to
Cygwin, and I've had no exposure to the UNIX environment at all (NT
eigher.) So I it might be a difficult thing.

Another problem is, I don't know anything about the language used in
(configure|Makefile)\.in.
But I'll give it a try. I'll go to my Univ's library tomorrow. If all
seems to go well, I'll send a report to this list.
Thanks, anyway.
