claws-mail plugins depend on symbols in the executable.  While not the
easiest to deal with on Cygwin, there are workarounds, but upstream does
this incorrectly, resulting in a broken claws-mail.exe.

There is a working claws-mail in Cygwin Ports.  The required .cygport
and patches are available in Ports SVN:

http://cygwin-ports.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/cygwin-ports/ports/trunk/mail/claws-mail/

Most claws-mail plugins are also available in the mail/ directory.

Please note that Cygwin Ports packages are not supported here; please
see the Ports website for more info.
