As told in a previous mail, I don't start with this because I know it will
be to difficult for me and I won't be able to finish it succesfully.
noweb uses a plethora of scripting languages and porting all these can be
problematic for an unexperienced. This is a drawback for me, but perhaps
just a real challenge for an experienced maintainer.

Has someone already volunteered to take up the noweb program suite in
the cygwin distribution?

Regards,

Francky
