nmh && cygwin, works?

Hi all,

I tried to get a mail environment (fetchmail, postfix, nmh, exmh) 
setup under cygwin, but that failed quite hard. Any ideas wether nmh 
is supposed to work cygwin? I checked it last week and it seems that:

-Cygwin version of nmh requires fpurge(), something cygwin.dll does 
have.
-The timezone stuff was all wrong
-The autoconf version in cygwin is higher (2.53) than in nmh and some 
nmh/autoconf macros was deprecated!!


This was tested on latest releas of cygwin and nmh/rc1 and nmh/cvs. 
Given that nmh-1.1 is around the corner, what's your take on this? It 
seems that we should at least have a story about the autoconf version 
stuff. Maybe we need/should change our macros. Comments from autoconf 
skilled hackers would be appreciated!

/Anders
