[Art Eschenlauer and Bill Bass recently asked about new Windows binaries,
and Art reminded me that he's been unable to build from sources on Windows.]

Regarding Windows binary distributions, the forthcoming one is almost
ready but it is rather a huge advance over previous distributions
(new C compiler (GCC), new installer generator program (Inno Setup), etc.),
and so much change has required more testing than usual.  I project an
end-of-June public beta of this new binary distribution, and generally will
give out the URL to anyone who wants to alpha-test with the understanding
that it is still rough around the edges (new IDE not finished, documentation
needs updating, etc.).

I am sorry for the build troubles, and sorry you've not been able to create
a Cygwin configuration for us, Art, perhaps one will become available in time.
In the meantime the best thing I can do is put up a copy of the exact compiler,
libraries, and installer tool I am using, which are (at last) all free tools.
I've put these up at http://www.cs.nmsu.edu/~jeffery/win32/ for now.

As an aside, I've had enough trouble trying to use CVS as a "source
distribution medium" that I am going back to .zip files for official source
distributions. The current such source distribution is dated 4/27/02.
CVS remains in use and available, but I will try to update the .zip files
on a regular basis and recommend them for external users.
