For the convenience of others, here is id3v2 0.1.12 compiled under Cygwin.  It depends upon Cygwin and Cygwin’s zlib package.

It wouldn’t even output anything for rsync --help or even plain rsync. which showed it to be in /usr/bin/rsync as expected. A closer look revealed something odd:

$ ls -lah /usr/bin/rs*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 fitzsimj None    0 2010-01-11 13:40 /usr/bin/rsync
-rwxr-xr-x 1 fitzsimj root 349K 2010-02-19 11:20 /usr/bin/rsync.exe

I had a mysterious, empty rsync file next to rsync.exe in my /usr/bin folder. Deleting the rsync file fixed my problem. I have no idea where this came from.
