  Probably the link on the download page that says "Precompiled binaries for
cygwin on windows".

  Of course, if anyone requires proof, here it is:

dk AT mace /win/c/downloads/rateless> cygcheck *.exe
Found: .\rateless-copy.exe
rateless-copy.exe
  C:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll
    C:\WINDOWS\System32\ADVAPI32.DLL
      C:\WINDOWS\System32\ntdll.dll
      C:\WINDOWS\System32\KERNEL32.dll
      C:\WINDOWS\System32\RPCRT4.dll

Found: .\rateless-tunnel.exe
rateless-tunnel.exe
  C:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll
    C:\WINDOWS\System32\ADVAPI32.DLL
      C:\WINDOWS\System32\ntdll.dll
      C:\WINDOWS\System32\KERNEL32.dll
      C:\WINDOWS\System32\RPCRT4.dll
dk AT mace /win/c/downloads/rateless>

  LOL.  They owe me their source code.

    cheers,
