I've posted my trial package of rdesktop-1.3.1, which you can test, by adding
http://www.a1flexus.com/cygwin/ to setup.exe.


It does depend on openSSL, XWindow and the Open Sound System.
However, I think I got the XWindow dependency wrong in the attached setup.hint,
as a trial install seemed to download more files than required.


One advantage of rdesktop over Microsoft's Remote Desktop Connection, is that it
does not require admin priviledges to install.
Hmm. It could be useful, if I could find a way to _statically_ compile in all libraries.


Below is a script, which makes generating setup.hint easier.
Not sure how to script the date.
