gvim	6.0 & 6.1	No patch required. ^*	Vi IMproved - GTK version (called vim-X11 in RedHat and Mandrake, vim-gtk in Debian). You need the run time files in Cygwin official vim package. `CFLAGS=-O2 ./configure --prefix=/opt/gnome --enable-gui=gtk`	(6.0) (6.1)

Perl and python scripting support is optional. CFLAGS=-O2 ./configure --prefix=/opt/gnome --disable-plugins There are two version of binary packages provided here, xchat-minimal and xchat-enhenced. xchat-minimal is built with less feature. ( detail info ) Note: 1. Both xchat-minimal and xchat-enhanced need the xchat-common package. 2. The plug-in interface is not available.	(minimal) (enhanced)

gnobog	0.4.3	gnobog-0.4.3-cygwin.patch gnobog-0.4.3-dillo.patch gnobog-0.4.3-shellexec.patch	Gnome Bookmarks organizer It builds smoothly without patch, but the callback functions set via libglade couldn't work. So you need to expose symbols to libglade. The -dillo patch would add support for dillo web browser. The -shellexec patch would add support for Windows URL handler. ( detail )
gaim	0.5.8	gaim-0.58-cygwin-shared.patch Note: This patch is not complete. Building gaim as a GNOME panel applet is not full supported.	GPL multi-protocol instant messenger client. This patch is for building plugins into DLLs. ( detail )
	0.5.8	See README file	Ditto. Static version. The plugins interface is disabled and all protocols are linked staticly into main program: `CFLAGS=-O2 ./configure --prefix=/opt/gnome --disable-plugins --disable-panel --disable-gnome --with-static-prpls="oscar,toc,gg,icq,irc, jabber,msn,napster,yahoo,zephyr"` ( detail )
sylpheed	0.8.8	sylpheed-0.8.0-cygwin.patch	A GTK+ based, lightweight, and fast email client. Built with compface support. Compface utilities are recommended(official cygwin distribution has compface). Build with Steven O'Brien's patch.

	1.1.96	ggv-bonobo-1.1.96-cygwin.patch	Ditto. This one is built with bonobo support.
gnome-commander	0.9.8	gnome-commander-0.9.8-cygwin.patch	A Gnome file manager similar to the Norton Commander. The latest version of gnome-commander is 0.9.9, in which a lot of changes were made compared to 0.9.8. Though it would build successfully on Cygwin, it hangs at gtk_main() at run time. Don't know why. Might be investigated when have time. ( Screen shot detail )
dillo	0.6.6	dillo-0.6.6-cygwin.patch.	A very small web browser. Cookies support is enabled in 0.6.6-2. I resorted to POSIX file lock to replace lockf stuff. detail
