ACK.  I'm slowly porting them to 2.4.  Today I finally got glib "make
check" to complete without error.  DLL exports, charset issues and
broken threading caused the most grief.

For those interested, there's a whole stack of patches and commentary
in Bugzilla.  It's in the win32 component of the glib module.  They
are all titled "[cygwin ..."

I'll try and get Atk and Pango done this weekend (they should be
easier).  Hopefully I'll have GTK+ and then Gtkmm done within a
fortnight (GTK+ was the nastiest of the lot for 2.2).  Maybe we'll
have full Cygwin support for 2.4.1 :-).


Regards,
Roger
