It's a package that our project

from, as the routine of installing cygwin, selecting (all of the) the
required packages and compiling astrometry.net is beyond the skills of
the target audience (amateur astronomers).  Not included in any of the
major distros.

I'm curious, partly for myself. Would it not be a fairly simple alternative for your users if you distributed a binary package and told them that installing Cygwin is a prereq for running your binary (assuming it is)? List, is there a reason this should not be done?

Thanks,
