Proposing TCM as a cygwin package

[Daniel Bößwetter]

Thank you, Pierre and Igor.

But: can I put something like "xfig" into my setup.hint and setup.exe 
will find it? The package search finds lots of  TeX-stuff when searching 
for xfig, but not xfig itself.

BTW: transfig 3.2.4 compiles without errors, but with some warnings.

Best Regards,
Daniel
