I havent tried to use it yet so this could be premature (but probably isnt) but it passed all the tests and installed fine.

I just wanted to say that your responsiveness regarding this issue is/should be an example to the many who post XS modules that wont build under AS/Cygwin. Not all of us are good enough C programmers to figure this stuff out themselves. I know im not anyway.

BTW heres the output, thanks a million.
