55 Thanks Duncan. I did find this package earlier, but it's just a name to me.
56
57 I do run Cygwin on this machine when it's in Windows so I have a

59
60 Talking with this developer it seems it will probably be easier to let
61 him create Windows executables and I'll test only those, leaving all
62 this tool chain stuff to folks who know more than I do.
