I would like to announce PW32 the Posix-over-Win32 layer, as close relative
of DJGPP ;-)

PW32 is implementation of (subset of) POSIX/Unix API for Win32 systems. Its
main concerns are efficiency and full platform coverage, including adequate
support for low-end Win9x systems. PW32 is based on DJGPP's runtime library
by DJ Delorie. PW32 is licensed under LGPL.

0.3.0 is second public and first 'full-fledged' (as for alpha)
release. Changes include:

* Many bugfixes.
* Tested and runs on 9x and NT. On 95, problems known and identified, with
workarounds provided.
* Binaries provided: build environment based on gcc-2.95.2-1-mingw32
(courtesy of Mumit Khan), ash, fileutils, textutils, sed, grep, sh-utils,
diffutils, make.
* Updated documentation.
