I am on the ethereal-dev list; questions such as this should be sent to
ethereal-dev, not sent to me with ethereal-dev CCed (especially given
that I cannot answer all of them).

It might have GCC, but I don't use GCC when compiling on Windows, I use
Microsoft Visual C++.
If you want to use Cygwin's GCC, you'd have to follow the "Instructions
for Cygwin" in the "README.win32" file in the top-level Ethereal source
tree. I have never done that, so I cannot give you any help whatsoever
on making that work.

I cannot answer that, as I have never used omniidl; I will leave that to
somebody who *has* used it to answer.
