Richard Kagerer wrote in with these instructions for those who need to use this program on Microsoft Windows:

How to build tcpxd on Windows

  1. Install Cygwin. Select to include "gcc-core" and "automake".
  2. Download tcpxd source from http://quozl.netrek.org/tcpxd/
  3. Extract to cygwin\usr\tcpxd-1.4
  4. Rename aclocal.m4 to aclocal.m4.old
  5. Start Cygwin shell and run: 
       cd /usr/tcpxd-1.4
   ./configure
   aclocal
   automake
   gcc tcpxd.c -o tcpxd.exe
   exit
  6. Copy tcpxd.exe and cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll to a directory on your computer (e.g. C:\Program Files\tcpxd). Run tcpxd.exe (no arguments) from a command prompt to show syntax.
