I just gave KimDaBa 1.1 on cygwin (Windows 2000) a second try.

bash-2.05b$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.0 dani-pc 1.5.6(0.108/3/2) 2004-01-19 00:43 i686 unknown 
unknown Cygwin

bash-2.05b$ ./configure
[...]
checking for mcopidl... not found
configure: error: The important program mcopidl was not found!
Please check whether you installed aRts correctly or use
--without-arts to compile without aRts support (this will remove 
functionality).

bash-2.05b$ ./configure --without-arts
configure: error: invalid package name: arts

Hmm. what now?
