Hi all,

I'm interested in being the package maintainer for figlet.  The latest
version is 2.2 and was released in 1996 (and so I can't realistically see it
being updated again).  I have already compiled the source and created a
tar.bz2 of the binaries/docs/etc and I've created what I /think/ is a good
setup.hints file.

First question.  Is anyone interested in actually having figlet for Cygwin?

Next, does someone want to check that what I've done is correct, and maybe
hold my hand a little in getting my first package into Cygwin (since I've
not done it before)?

If all goes well with this then I would certainly be interested in being the
package maintainer for other packages, since I like Cygwin a lot (home from
home you could say, being a Linux person who's forced to use Windows at
work).

Any help would be appreciated.

Carl
