Builds fine from source.

But /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8/cygwin/auto/grepmail/.packlist contains

  /usr/src/build/build/grepmail/grepmail-5.3033/.inst/usr/bin/grepmail 

which should be

 /usr/bin/grepmail


Also /usr/bin/grepmail contains:

   #!/usr/bin/perl5.8.8 -w

   eval 'exec /usr/bin/perl5.8.8 -w -S $0 ${1+"$@"}'
       if 0; # not running under some shell

Wouldn't it be better to change it to /usr/bin/perl ?


According to /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/grepmail-5.3033.README:

  Additional Perl CPAN modules needed. Run this command before starting the
  program:

    $ perl -MCPAN -e 'install $_ for @ARGV' \
      Date::Parse Mail::Mbox::MessageParser FileHandle::Unget


Given that nobody :-) reads README's wouldn't it be better to also
package this dependencies ?

Ciao
  Volker
