Re: new spamprobe BerkeleyDB on CygWin

I think a possible solution to this problem is a prebuilt binary for 
windows.
Would a binary built using Windows developement tools be OK ? I wouldnt mind 
building one, and even contributing the source "workspace" using VC 6.0 or 
VS.NET ...
There's a lot of WIN32 users who would benfit from a pre-built EXE.
