I have to agree - I started this report just to have *anything*. If it will grow to lets say more than 100 packages, I have to think about putting it into a database or something like that. I hope though, that until this time most GNU packages will have their own [GNU|Cyg]Win32 build rules , so that this report won't be necessary any more. Bye.
