The documentation for using spamd from a cygwin session is in the
README.win file. I have not built it yet to set. Just did nmake and got
the normal SA to build cleanly under ActivePerl. And one thing is that
modules like Mail::DKIM And Mail::DomainKeys also Encode::Detect refuse
to build on ActivePerl. I may be missing some SSL mods and haven't
checked in ppg yet to see if they're available for AP.

Guess it did make sense for me to install Cygwin then. 8*) So two two
two buildbots in one eh? HAR!

Trust me I'll fix that README.win !! Still trying to grab all the
environment variables needed. I may commit a building.win.bat file to
SVN just to make life easier on someone wanting this to work.
