[ITP] Macaulay2 1.1


Dear Cygwin,

We'd like to distribute Macaulay 2 as an official cygwin package.  The package
is used by hundreds of mathematicians as part of their research, and hundreds
of published research papers, listed on our web site have cited it.  It has
been developed over the years through generous funding from the National
Science Foundation.

It is not included in a major Linux distribution.

The package files, including the setup.hint file, are visible at 

    http://www.math.uiuc.edu/Macaulay2/Repositories/cygwin/Macaulay2/

and are ready for uploading.

Here is the setup.hint file:

    # -*- sh -*-
    # this file is part of the Macaulay 2 cygwin package
    sdesc: "a software system for algebraic geometry research"
    ldesc: "Macaulay 2 is a software system for algebraic geometry research.
     Macaulay 2 is a software system for algebraic geometry research, written by
     Daniel R. Grayson and Michael E. Stillman.  Based on Groebner bases, it
     provides algorithms for computing homological invariants of rings and
     modules.
