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.
