hi chris,
no, i'm sorry, i don't. we ran into too many problems trying to support
cygwin years ago, and someone came up with the idea to use a vmware
image that envelopes the entire native development environment in one
bundle that everyone (well, mac users must pay, of course) can use and
maintain for free.
i wish i had better news,
steve

Any advice for cygwin users? know of any cygwin rpm locations?
