Is it possible to run the latest version of Cataclysm without having to muck about in Cygwin first?

Grab a nightly build ([http://grigro.bplaced.net/catadda-win32.zip](http://grigro.bplaced.net/catadda-win32.zip)). It’s not _quite_ the latest, but it’s pretty damn close (shouldn’t be more than 24 hours out of date).

Ah! Thanks for the response and thanks again for putting up with my lazy-ness and inability to look.
