http://www.cygwin.com, first Google hit.

I think it's 200 to 300MB or so.  Rough guess.  Please note that the
configure stuff for the additional map libraries is not correct yet.
Also, Cygwin wget doesn't work yet with Xastir.  Basic maps and
functionality appears to be there, at least for network connections.
I'd like to hear from anyone trying it with serial port connections.

In the CVS version of README.1ST is the list of Cygwin packages
you'll need to get it running.
