Hi
The package mcrypt is now available with the Cygwin distribution:
o http://mcrypt.sourceforge.net/ (Homepage)
DESCRIPTION:
============
MCrypt is a replacement for the old crypt() package and crypt(1) command, with extensions.
It allows developers to use a wide range of encryption functions, without making drastic changes
to their code. It allows users to encrypt files or data streams without having to be cryptographers.
Enjoy
Volker
