I'll leave that as an exercise to the reader, at least initially.

No, it isn't.  Perhaps in 4.0 when Win32 support is "dropped" I might
consider a porting effort to make 4.0 run under Cygwin, but IMHO the
overhead of Cygwin just makes the idea so unattractive.

Do people seriously run production servers under Cygwin?  *shudder*

You mean 3.4, not 3.4.2 version -- there IS no binary distribution
of 3.4.2.

Yes, nscgi.dll was missing because nscgi under Win32 in AOLserver 3.4
seems to be completely broken (at least for the very, very cursory
testing I did).  I felt it wasn't worth including if it wasn't
working for even the most simplest CGI tests.

Why bloat the binary distribution with unnecessary files?

If you're going to compile modules, then you've got a compiler.
Then, just build AOLserver from source.  Why should I bother
packaging up the .lib files, then?

The binary install should only have enough in it for people
who are only running a binary install.  If you're going to
compile from source, then just compile everything from source.

Sorry to hear that.
