Just checked out the latest CVS.  From the looks of it, none of the 
changes offered regarding compiling cleanly under Cygwin were 
accepted/implemented.  The changes--basically conditionals added to 
Makefiles, a slight change to the configure script, a bit of cleanup on 
the setup.sh script, and some docs--would not affect anyone on other 
OSes, but _would_ afford those stuck in the Windows world the 
opportunity to compile/run jabberd, complete with SSL and s2s support 
(and possibly JUD/MUC support as well)...and possibly get them more 
interested in *nix in the process, as they'd have to run Cygwin just the 
same. ;-)

Just wanted to ask whether this was a conscious decision, whether my 
last posting--with attachment containing modified files--did not reach 
the list (sent 15Oct2003) for some reason, or if there was some 
unwritten requirement on how to submit that I failed to meet.
