 Wow, cool! At last!
 Installed and tested it. I believe i should be able to at least run C compiler 
in this environment.

 And take one small bug report. :) I wanted to port my spawn patch for 'make' 
and noticed that make is a cygport now. However looks like cygport is buggy a 
bit. 'cygport make prep' ends up in:
--- cut ---
*** ERROR: SRC_DIR is not correctly defined
--- cut ---
 I'm not really familiar with cygport, however after studyin --debug output i 
managed to work around it by adding 'SRC_DIR=" make-3.82.90"' to make.cygport. 
For some reason cygport seems to ignore VERSION and tries to extract $PV from 
.cygport file's name. Perhaps renaming it to 'make-3.82.90.cygport' would also 
work, i have not tested.
 And also, for some reason, supplied patch was not applied automatically. I had 
to do it manually after 'prep'.

 Kind regards.
