Pentium Compiler Group had already ported Midnight Commander 4.1.32 to
CygWin32 platform. I found this port (binaries and diffs only) at
their site:
 www.goof.com/pcg/data/cygwin32/mc-4.1.32-cygwinb19.diff and
 www.goof.com/pcg/data/cygwin32/mc-4.1.32-cygwinb19.tar.gz
As Leiming Qian wrote to me, he couldn't find any links to
/data/cygwin32 directory from PCG pages. It is strange but if
you will use these direct links, all should be OK.
