Thanks very much for working on all this and contributing it.  I will build and 
test as soon as I can.  I need to research the packaging steps because I intend 
to ITA this package.  I do also want to take another look at the other programs 
built as part of --enable-schedutils; they might (or might not) build cleanly 
but AFAIK there's no support within Cygwin and/or Windows for what they can do 
on Linux.

Thanks again,
