He he, of course that's your decision. And let me say you're doing a great job ;)

Their forum seems active, but I don't know any of the authors.
I don't know how cygwin works, but I guess, that if either method can be compiled into
an exe-setup, then fine. I do think that having to install three separate applications will
frighten some windows-users, but okay...

Ok, that's probable. Here I get - with the downloaded file in windows:

C:\> ocrad -V

GNU Ocrad version 0.14

File size is exactly the same as the one posted with the exe-installer in August.

Yes, I think you might be right. I will do some more tests on this.
