Installation instructions for XML2RFC for Windows XP using Cygwin
J. Touch

1. install Cygwin
    follow instructions at cygwin.org
    make sure to select "tcltk" in Libs

2. place a copy of xml2rfc files on a local drive
    e.g., in C:\xml2rfc

    for version 1.26 and earlier, see NOTE below.

3. place a copy of bibxml* files on a local drive
    e.g., in C:\xml2rfc\bibs\

3. edit .xml2rfc.rc to indicate the bibxml* library path:

    e.g., as per step #3,
    change "~/rfcs/bibxml/*" to "/cygdrive/c/xml2rfc/bibs/*"

4. run xml2rfc as follows:

    tclsh /cygdrive/c/xml2rfc/xml2rfc.tcl

NOTE:
for xml2rfc-1.26 and earlier ONLY, add an additional modification in step #3:

4a. patch .xml2rfc.rc (XML2RFC 1.26 and earlier)
(The purpose of the patch is to append library names in a format compatible with the OS; on Windows XP, this replaces the Cygwin's "/" with Windows's "\".)
