Hi,

FYI.  I'm running fetchmail, procmail and mutt, all of which compiled
almost OOTB under Cygwin 1.1.8.  OS is Win98 with FAT32 partition.

As for Mutt, problems around permissions were solved by excluding dotlock
related things:
(1) Comment out these two lines.
    #define USE_DOTLOCK 1
    #define DL_STANDALONE 1
    ("./configure --disable-external_dotlock" doesn't seem to undef them.)
(2) Remove every occurence of "mutt_dotlock", "dotlock.c",
    "$(mutt_dotlock_SOURCES)", "$(mutt_dotlock_OBJECTS)" from Makefile.

I don't think this way of tweaking is so nice.  It's just a workaround.

I'm not sure about this.  As I said, I'm running mutt on FAT32 system 
(but not FAT) with no problems.

Regards.

I laughed loud.  Good line.

  Why don't you replace Perl/Python with Ruby? (www.ruby-lang.org)
