Depends on what you have installed. I'd have to watch:
- ezwinports, obviously. :-)
- Emacs - depends on who is currently providing a binary, switches
pretty much every year.
- MinGW/MSys
- GNUWin32
- MSYSGit
- GnuPG
- Mercurial
- Python, Ruby: respective homepages
- GNU Global
- Exuberant Ctags
- Windows-only-but-free stuff like Clink, ConEmu, Putty/Plink
That's just off the top of my head, I'm sure there's more. Obviously, I
don't check all those regularly, only when I see the need, but that's
not a good solution.
