I support this wholeheartedly... I know having Windows on your desktop

in a hybrid environment.
I once posted a message asking for small adjustments to the build.xml
file that would make ANT build script usable under regular Windows shell
-- tarballs and such. I will be pleased to work on this if you want to;
takes a few minutes in fact.
That would be great - thanks! You can send it directly to me, I can
commit this.
Doug -- is there any strong rationale of having CygWin as the
development shell for Windows?
For my part I can't see any, except that the main "nutch" script
requires a Bourne-compatible shell. IMHO it would be better to rewrite
to a *.bat file for Windows users, rather than require them to install
Cygwin. Tomcat catalina.bat scripts could provide excellent start - they
are well tested.
