According to Francky Leyn on 6/25/2007 2:27 AM:
Dear,

I'm a user of the literate programming tool noweb
(http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/~nr/noweb/intro.html).
It's a pitty this program isn't included in the cygwin
distribution.

Could you please consider to take up the program
suite in the cygwin distribution?

Since you want it so much, why don't you volunteer to become the cygwin
maintainer? http://cygwin.com/setup.html
You are omnipresent in all many newsgroups?

I think other people have far better skills and competence than I do  to
1) tackle the problem in the first place
2) do it in a clean way, according to the high GNU standards.

I want to note that noweb uses a plethora of scripting languages and
porting is thus probably only reserved for the happy few. I know by start
it will be to difficult for me.

noweb would be a VERY nice addition to the cygwin suite. In the literate
programming world, it is the tool of first or second choice. If you are willing
to freak and want ultimate control you use Knuths tool. If you just want a
straightforward tool, you use noweb. noweb has a very nice extendable and
concept.


Regards,

Francky
