Re: slrn on Cygwin makefile bug

Hi all,

It works for me except for one small problem. On cygwin, "INSTALL' and
"install" are the same. You have to mv INSTALL to INSTALL.txt to make
"make install" work and not say it is up to date. That file should be
renamed in the release.

It also has a small bug in it. /doc/INSTALL.unx should be
/doc/INSTALL.unix.

What has to be done to get slrn part of the standard cygwin releases?

Cheers, Brian.
