I recently followed the advice at

and noting:
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2004-01/msg00011.html
and apparently got libwin32-0.191 patched and handcrafted to build for
perl 5.8.5 on cygwin, pass many tests, and install. It ran about 250
tests and then noted that I am not on a Windows network, and stopped
running tests. That was "good enough for me" (TM). After install,
I have also produced a patch file that will apply all the changes
necessary to the original libwin32-0.191 , but it is almost 7 megs and
gzips to about 2 megs. I can email it to interested parties, as well as
Great.
Please send me the bzip2 patch. I will try to make a package then.
