I have compiled numerous bits of code a quick hacks which I am making available here for anybody who is interested. The code is unmaintained, but I will endeavor to provide any help I can as time permits. All this code was created to complete a specific task and may be written very poorly with little to no documentation.

Getting Perl/Tk running under cygwin seems to be a constant pain. Until the recent perl release which went to a site/5.8 directory for modules, this was something that I went through every time I upgraded perl. I think I found the secret though. Apparently they dropped cygwin support in Tk804. You need to get Tk800.025 from cpan. Make test still reports a few errors, but the installation works for me.
As is typical with installing anything in cygwin, CRM114 took some tweaking to get it to install properly. The CRM114 Discriminator is a "Controllable Regex Mutilator" according to their website. In engilish it is an complex and interesting tool to "examine incoming e-mail, system log streams, data files or other data streams, and to sort, filter, or alter the incoming files or data streams according to the user's wildest desires." Mostly it is used to sort spam.
Anyway, here is what I needed to do to install crm114 under cygwin. I used
the 20040231-BlameYokohama version of CRM114. First, get the libiconv,
gettext and procmail from cygwin. Then get the Mew
from www.Mew.org (I used version 3.3.) Install
mew-3.3 with cd bin && ./configure && make && make install. This will
give you mewdecode and mewencode. From the CRM114 package
cd into tre directory and install with
./configure && make && make install. Now, back in the main CRM114 dir,
edit the Makefile to add the following lines somewhere after the initial definitions.
CFLAGS += -I/usr/local/include LDFLAGS += -L/usr/local/lib LIBS += -lintl -liconv
Finally, add $(LDFLAGS) to each of the compiliation step for the
utilities (cssdiff, cssmerge, cssutil). It should look something like this:
cssutil: cssutil.c crm114.h crm114_structs.h crm114_config.h crm114_sysincludes.h
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c cssutil.c -o cssutil.o
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS) cssutil.o -static -lm -ltre -o cssutil
Now run make and you should get everything compiled and left in
the current directory.
This is cool. I just came across a commandline tool for creating and
listing file associations in windows. the assoc command will list
all the associations and assoc .=txtfile will make all files
without extensions text files (ie, README). Cygwin doesn't seem to be able
to find assoc so it must be run from a cmd window.
