KSH on Cygwin

- Subject: KSH on Cygwin
I apologize in advance if I've missed an obvious resource or if this question is off-topic for Cygwin (flame or ignore as appropriate). With the recent KSH emails, I decided to try to get KSH running under Cygwin.
With emails of pre-compiled binaries for Cygwin and that KSH should compile OOB with Cygwin, I downloaded the INIT and ast-ksh packages for Cygwin and placed them in /tmp/ksh/lib/package/tgz. I extracted the INIT tarball and then ran bin/package read. The bin/package read command runs a bit and extracts some files but hangs when it gets to bin/package. Apparently part of that script renames bin/package to bin/package.old and then gets stuck in some sort of loop (at least I can't tell what it's doing). This behavior occurs with Cygwin specific packages as well as with the source for INIT and ast-ksh.
Any pointers are appreciated.
