I maintain the distcc package for Cygwin.

Looks like what you've got is a cross-compiler toolchain that runs on 
Linux and builds for Cygwin, right?

But then... what do we have here:

Are you saying that there is a *also* a script in that package that is 
intended to be used on Cygwin?  If so, it might be a good idea to add 
that script to my distcc package for Cygwin.  I had just been thinking 
about creating such a script and it would be great if you have already 
done so.

Let me know if I misunderstood what you have got in your package.
