Are > you interested in doing that for Cygwin? I went ahead and packaged it myself for my own use. I'm attaching my .cygport file in case you want to use it. I'm also attaching the .cygport for python-fastimport, which is needed by bzr-fastimport. I can ITP these myself if you don't want to. Just let me know.

It is designed to be used in combination with front-end programs that generate a command/data stream for it to process. Front-ends are available for a wide range of foreign VCS tools including Subversion, CVS, Git, Mercurial, Darcs, and Perforce. New front-ends are easy to develop in whatever programming language you prefer, making Bazaar Fast Import useful for teams needing a custom migration solution."
