I am not using Cygwin, just MSYS and Mingw. I didn't have much luck 
trying it with Cygwin, so I decided to use pure Mingw and MSYS. I had to 
compile a few libraries first but most of the prereqs came from my Mono 
1.1.4 installation. I will merge the changes to the 0.13 code (which 
should be no changes I think) and I will make it available soon, time 
permitting.

Well, the basic is working perfectly. I need to fix the MS Project XML 
Import to use standard Widgets and that's most of the function. The 
native windows printing is still not working as I am a little lost on 
what's going wrong, but PDF/PS printing with a possible Windows 
transport for the PS file is easy to do (and everybody can print a PDF 
in the worst case :-)
