I think it's the Cygwin project. We are only responsible for ensuring that it builds and runs correctly on Cygwin. But I'm sure they'll accept a patch if one of us sends it to them. The real problem is keeping it up to date. Just updating it to 5.3.0 should be a matter of sending a patch, but keeping it up to date, following up when things break etc is something that really requires someone who actively uses CHICKEN from Cygwin. > Assuming we have to do this ourselves. How difficult is it to upgrade? Shouldn't be too hard. Build instructions are almost identical for CHICKEN 4 and 5. Cheers, Peter
