  66 Yes lucas, your points are pretty good.. I have compiled the ircservices
  67 on my way, but I didn't think on other people.
  68
  69 So, I will discard the chance of releasing a binary-only version of
  70 ircservices, to not give some stupid questions like &quot;why this windows
  71 ircservices don't run on unreal&quot; (I compiled it for bahamut, it's one of
  72 my favorite ircds).
  73
  74 I will try to talk to Andrew to he release a patch to compile on cygwin
  75 (for all who want that).
  76
  77 I want to thank all who wrote here, becose everyone idea is important to me.
