Usage of gengetopt

Hi!

I am currently working on a free software application (xref). 1 of the 
GNU requirements is to implement long options. At least "--help" and 
"--version" are required.

After some searching I ran into GenGetOpt as a possibility to generate 
these command line options, long as well as short. So I downloaded 
gengetopt.2.22.4 and Cygwin 1.7.7.

Unfortunately, ./configure crashes. It cannot find /mingw/lib/crt2.o in 
the mentioned directory, because it resides somewhere else.

See the end of my mail.

I am on Win XP Home SP3, and run in Least User Access (LUA) mode.

My questions:

1. Does there exist an already compiled version, so I can download the 
executables, and just run it? I need gengetopt only this time.
2. Do you have a simple compile instruction, so I can compile it with 
MingW (http://www.mingw.org/). I do not intend to work on gengetopt 
myself, I only want to use it, and benefit from its existence. I mean 
something like "gcc gengetopt.c".

If there is anything I can do for you, please let me know.

Kind regards, and thanks in advance,

Hans Lodder
