At last it comes. I think I was just too lazy :-(
Now I should do something: I'd like to maintain a cygwin port of sylpheed-claws,
when gdk-pixbuf is also ported.
Sylpheed-claws is a mail client, which cygwin seems to lack. Among all the
applications ported for CyGnome, I think sylpheed-claws is the best useful.
If you haven't tried it, you can download old ports (0.9.11) from cygnome site,
http://cygnome.sourceforge.net/install/release/sylpheed-claws
(but you must have cygnome-1.4 installed, at least glib-1.2, gtk-1.2, gdk-pixbuf
and XFree86-libs-compat)
But now it's becoming hard to maintain it with cygnome-1.4's libraries of old style.
So I want to maintain it on current platform (xorg-x11-6.7, or 6.8?)
Currently I'm working on new upstream release 0.9.12a, which is released a fews days ago,
tring to make it buildable with generic-build-script.
When I have something (after gtk-1.2 and gdk-pixbuf get into cygwin release),
I'll ITP it formally.
