Thanks!  I wasn't aware of that interesting project.  I'm definitely 
going to check it out.

For my immediate needs, however, I managed to get the standard 
precompiled native Win32 php4 package to work as a CGI handler inside my 
cygwin Apache 1.3.  This is suboptimal, and I have to stay away from 
cygwin paths (~, symlinks, etc.), but SquirrelMail worked just as 
advertised.
