Thanks I changed the things.

Wrong copy. I intended to use GPL.

Unfortunately Cygwin won't work, because some packages are out of date. If
you use Cygwin, you can't use the GUI. You have to mix Cygwin with
Cygwin-ports. The files are compatible, the packages not. This is a real
pain to install it. The howto I did it is described in
/usr/share/doc/PSPP_setup)

For now, I think this is at least a package to show what PSPP can do for the
users. I don't pretend that this is the best/only solution. It is simpy a
solutions which worked. Maybe in the futher a Cygwin package could be a nice
solution. Maybe Mingw is an even better solution. (Although I hope people
dump Windows for that time. :-) ) Maybe something else.

And as I said in the doc's, if anybody wants to take care of an other port I
will be glad to give her/him all the support I can.
