  Nope, but you could start at
http://directory.fsf.org/search/fsd-search.py?q=firewall

  I think you're quite unlikely to find what you're looking for.  Firewalls
are fairly kernel-based apps, so one for 'doze and one for linux are going to
be quite differently-shaped and I don't think cygwin will be able to do all
that much to help the porting.


    cheers,
