I've tried all the patched versions of tla under cygwin, and none interoperated with linux. Tails of the paths seem corrupted back on linux.
So I went the MSFU (M$ Services For Unix) way, which turns out to be a thing similar to cygwin, with packages at www.interix.com. Following the instructions at wiki.gnuarch.org, I did get a working tla. The issue, however, is to get it to fetch and propagate archives. So we need ssh. The ssh which can be loaded into MSFU via pkg_add is openssh, and its ssh-agent can be started, but ssh-add cannot talk to it, saying broken pipe on the socket. So following teh approach of those using darcs with pscp, I replaced sftp with pusftp and pageant. Then I saw that tla wants to push openssh options -oForwardX11=no and two more -o's down plink's throat. The source shows that the ssh choice is a compile-time one, with the options hardcoded! Wonderful. I've recompiled it for plink and have a separate copy tla-plink, but I believe it would be nice to decouple the transport choice and have a way to specify options through to it, much like gcc does with ld. Anyone tried UWIN? What's the wisdom about Cygwin vs. MSFU vs. UWIN these days? At least MSFU supports tla naturally...
