The WindowMaker-0.80.0-2 package has been added to the Cygwin distribution.
>From the Window Maker home page (http://www.windowmaker.org/), "Window Maker
is an X11 window manager originally designed to provide integration support
for the GNUstep Desktop Environment. In every way possible, it reproduces
the elegant look and feel of the NEXTSTEP[tm] user interface. It is fast,
feature rich, easy to configure, and easy to use. It is also free software
and part of the GNU Project, with contributions being made by programmers
from around the world."

To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link
on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to
your system. Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick
up 'WindowMaker' from the 'XFree86' category. You may need to
click the "Full" button if it doesn't show up.
Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) aren't
allowed due to bandwidth limitations. This means that you will need
to find a mirror which has this update.
In the US, ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/mirrors/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/
is a reliable high bandwidth connection.
In Japan, ftp://ftp.u-aizu.ac.jp/pub/gnu/gnu-win32/ is usually
up-to-date.
In DK, http://mirrors.sunsite.dk/cygwin/ is usually up-to-date.
If one of the above doesn't have the latest version of this package
you can either wait for the site to be updated or find another
mirror.
Please send questions or comments to the Cygwin/XFree86 mailing list at:
cygwin-xfree@sources.redhat.com . If you want to subscribe go to:
http://cygwin.com/lists.html I would appreciate if you would use
this mailing list rather than emailing me directly. This includes
ideas and comments about the setup utility or Cygwin/XFree86 in general.
If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin/XFree86 mailing
list is the appropriate place.
