Thanks, but that's not what I'm looking for. I've already showed that I
can cross compile from cygwin to mingw. However, I would also like to
build nativly for mingw. I can do this if I'm sitting at my computer,
cuase the msys environment is easy to get. However, when I'm remote,
there is no way I can see to get into an msys environment.

The mingw-users list suggested that I get another version of sshd that's
not related to cygwin. However, i like cygwin's sshd server.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Bob Rossi
