It started life as a script which I developed for configuring and building OpenSSL and OpenLDAP with CC=gcc2cl. It does things like force object extensions to .o, search -L paths for -l libraries (libxxx.a, libxxx.lib, xxx.a, xxx.lib) and specify them properly, dos2unix stdout/stderr, and filter out the source filename from stdout/stderr that MSVC displays while compiling. This makes it work with autoconf as used by OpenLDAP. I figure this may be generally useful. Is it something that should go in the Cygwin distribution? If so, how do I go about contributing it? I'd like to finish it off a bit more before handing it over, and I will probably also do an ar2lib, and maybe an ld2link if it proves necessary.
