[pooma-dev] more on VC++ ide files

[Julian C. Cummings]

Allan, 

Thanks for the where Perl script.
Do you have anything to replace "makedepend"?

Jim Crotinger pointed out my mistake in
installing Cygwin, and that fixed my problem
with Unix line endings in VC++ project files.
My only remaining annoyance is that cvs commands
from my PC under cygwin execute, but never return
to the command line prompt when finished.

Julian,

Now that you have identified the problem I'll find a solution that works
under/with Cygwin over the next couple of days.

On the subject of configure under Cygwin, I've been annoyed before by the
absence of which.  I even found a toolkit claiming to offer a which
replacement, but which was missing.  The GNU manuals at fsf.org do not
include documentation for this utility either.  Hmm.  I just looked at my
FreeBSD which and I discovered that it's a Perl script.  It's
redistributable and it worked, so I've included it below.

Under Cygwin bash the current directory is not a default part of the path.
On my installation either "perl configure" or "./configure" works.
