Give us a few weeks and we'll release it to the outside. Source and 
binaries for Mac OS X and Linux/x86.

Thanks, we will.

Calling an external tool for generating password hashes seems awkward. 
We do have openssl-devel installed, and the `sha.h' header file looks 
identical to the one we're used to (from OS X), so we're unsure why this 
bug is occurring. Since I haven't found any info on this on the 'net, 
I'll have to assume the mistake is somewhere in our code :-)

Before we've fixed that, however, we can obviously not release a Windows 
(Cygwin) binary.

As to the comments about this thread being on the wrong mailing list:

1) I don't want to be a bother - if a list moderator wants this 
discussion to stop, I'll stop, and I hereby apologize for any trouble 
I've apparently caused.

2) I personally believe that Cygwin is primarily an environment, and not 
a distribution. We do use Cygwin to build our project, because Cygwin 
feels less "alien" from our point of view. At the same time, however, we 
do not want Windows-based users to feel forced into Cygwin's behaviours. 
We want to distribute a Windows application - GPL'd, with some 
Unix-style quirks, and compatible to the other major OS'es out there, 
but Windows nevertheless. Those who truly want a full Unix experience 
wouldn't use Windows in the first place, and thus not Cygwin either.

Have a nice weekend, everyone.
