I made the same work last year. And I understood, that direct porting 
wu-ftpd to win32 environment with cygnus tools is a bad idea :-( Inetd runs 
separate copy of wu-ftpd for each ftp connection. It takes much memory 
resources. Multiconnection inet services should have multithreading model 
in win32 environment! If you need really good native win32 ftp server for 
Windows NT or Windows 95, search for War-Ftpd on www.windows95.com. It is 
really great ftp daemon for win32 platforms.
