Oops, I forgot this one. I'll make it available on the side until the next
release.

Exactly, g2ctl.exe is Wesley's latest with a small patch to work under
cygwin. I used the Perl's PAR::Packer module for creating the .exe; I
believe I included the g2ctl.pl as well. Now, g2gdf.exe/.pl are part of the
Grib-2 extension for v1.9:

It relies on g2ctl and wgrib2 to create .gdf/.inv files which are particular
of this Grib-2 implementation (.gdf is similar to a .ctl, while .inv takes
the place of .idx; this extension does not use gribmap.)

I am glad it can be of some use. Let me know of any further issue.

  Cheers!
