cyg-apt
=======
A Cygwin command line package manager.
Like `apt-get`, `cyg-apt` allows you to install and remove packages on the Cygwin command line, and provides other package management functions.
This project is a fork of http://code.google.com/p/cyg-apt/ with extensive improvements and lots of bugfixes by [@alquerci](https://github.com/alquerci), [@nylen](https://github.com/nylen), and others.
