Considiering this is useful for embedded application development and such, I think it would be a good addition to the cygwin distribution. That and the fact that a platform-independant implementation of the ELF standard is just plain cool! I encourage anyone to check out the homepage, it is really fascinating. I guess we should get one other person's opinion and then we'll see what you're packaging looks like. Cheers, Nicholas
