I had a look on the sourceware for the new cygwin sources.  I found lots
of snapshots around 4MB in size.  I built my cygwin cross compiler
following Mumit Khan's howto.  It said to download the Cygwin dev
sources which are around 27MB in size.  I thought I needed an update of
this but there is only one on sourceware and it is quite old (the same
one that I have already got).  What is the difference between the dev
sources and the other snapshot soureces ?  Which ones do I need to build
an up to date cygwin package on a Linux host ?  I want to be able to
build the latest Insight code.  Are there any other pacages I need.  I
don't really want to build on a Win32 box, but would like to know if any
extra packages are required to do this (just incase I get real
desperate).

Thanks,
Brendan Simon.
