Aha, thanks for the enlightment. I have X installed. So it builds OOTB
for me. And it is not neccessary to have X installed for the runtime, if i
read your instructions correct:
( http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2001-03/msg01465.html )?
So why not build Python with tkinter?
-> pydoc is such a nice tool/script that it should be active.
Also I need it for fetchmail's config tool.
