Thank you Corinna, IMO This will make Cygwin ported applications much more accessible to the less technically inclined. FYI There still seems to be a problem with distributions checked out from a CVS repository onto a text mounted drive when Cygwin is installed as binary. The only work around I have found is to run the Makefile.am files through a Dos2Unix filter prior to invoking automake. This was not a problem with the Perl that Charles Wilson was distributing and the gnu distibution of automake, or tarball source distributions. Does anyone know what the difference might be between the two Perl distributions that is causing this ? I tried looking at the Perl source but got 'lost' quickly.
