Booohoo. Unsanity did answer my tech query (albeit with absolutely no useful information regarding it – ‘Yes, we are planning on updating this software we haven’t touched since 2001.’ (I wanted to know if MiNT was going to be updated, and if so, would it be AppleScriptable or otherwise usable through a non-GUI interface – this went unaswered.); it seems they’ve also opted to let mikmod.org go – if I had the $50, I’d register it just to keep the code around for others, but I’m sure it’ll live on in the archives everwhere else for years to come.

At any rate, I’ve been playing with Microsoft’s SFU so much, I’ve neglected my little port of mikmod to Windows/Cygwin. Yep, it works. Nearly natively, too. ;)

Now to just package it up and see if anyone downloads it – ncurses is static, and I’ll include my local cygwin1.dll, of course. ;) I’ve made a few updates to a prior patch of mpg123 to mpg123 0.59r-p1, and it seems to be working fine, as well. I’ll probably provide unified diffs of everything BUT libmikmod for Cygwin – I really broke it down to it’s essentials, and it’s not in any shape to be externally utilized.

Oh, it’s been done before, but I’ve also got xv running with updated library support under SFU and Cygwin.
