[BRLTTY] Anybody feel like getting brltty to compile under Cygwin?

[Lee Maschmeyer]

Hi folks,

For the past several years brltty could be compiled on Cygwin but only under 
gcc3. There was a script whose name was something like set-gcc-default-3.sh 
which used Alternatives to set up the gcc3 environment.

Brltty has never worked under Cygwin's gcc4. They've been trying to 
implement gcc4 for quite some time. It appears that they now believe gcc4 is 
correct because gcc3 has disappeared from my system. I can't find its 
Alternative scripts so it seems that these too have gone. I tried using 
Cygwin setup to install obsolete versions but it didn't give me gcc3.

I haven't studied C since the mid-'70s and am not ambitious enough to learn 
the whole thing over again. I love Cygwin though and have it set up to look 
as nearly like a Linux system as possible. Would any of you hackers like to 
see if you can figure out how to get brltty to work under their gcc4? I 
don't hold out much hope since, if I'm not interested, I doubt anybody else 
is either; but I thought I'd ask.

Thanks,
