That was last updated 5 years ago, and most of the activity ended 7 years ago. Also, I see MSYS DLLs there, which tells me some of the programs are MSYS ports, not native Windows ports (MSYS is a fork of Cygwin which I use only to build native Windows programs using MinGW tools). > GOW stands for "GNU on Windows"; it's a lightweight alternative to Cygwin. > Makes developing on Windows so much more bearable... Most of the tools there are available from GnuWin32, from MinGW, or from ezwinports, the latter two are more up to date.
