Nope :) It's not in there. I see a2dll, dos2unix.exe drmingw.exe, and  
a few others. but no rebase. There is a redir.exe and a reimp.exe, and  
a res2coff.exe but no rebase . Nothing containing the string "rebase".

I tried downloading binutils-2.18.50-20080109-2 and looking in there.  
no rebase!

Really I don't get this. How hard is it just to install mingw and get  
it working?

Every instruction so far given has not worked.

Perhaps someone can email me rebase directly?
