Correct.

Perhaps the file should be 'occ.exe' ? Most likely '$(EXEEXT)' or 
@EXEEXT@ is missing somewhere (in tester2.in ???).

This is strange.

I have seen it. Thank you!
Plugins fail, the rest works.

I think it is doable, but I more and more seriously think that this 
plugins functionality is not really worth the effort that we need to put 
into maintaining it. I am just about to raise this subject on the 
mailing list, so stay tuned and pls. let me (and others) know what you 
think.

Unfortunately it is alredy too late for 2.8, but I have already applied 
to MAIN. I believe it is important to build some momentum around Cygwin 
and .NET ports, so that OpenC++ becomes easier accessible for Windows 
users. Having said that your help is very valuable.

Thanks!
