Is there a single cgminer capable of mining all these coin types, or are they separate programs?
Can anyone point me to where I can find these for either Windows or Linux?
If not cgminer, is there an alternative GPU/CPU oriented miner available?

Unlike traditional banking where clients have only a few account numbers, with Bitcoin people can create an unlimited number of accounts (addresses). This can be used to easily track payments, and it improves anonymity.

are any of these alternative algorithms more profitable than scrypt for GPU mining right now?  my daily scrypt profits on a 2MH/s rig are dwindling and will be less than power costs before long

24" PCI-E cables with 16AWG wires and stripped ends - great for server PSU mods, best prices https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=563461
No longer a wannabe - now an ASIC owner!

I did find a miner called yacminer which does normal scrypt, Scrypt-N, Scrypt-Jane all in one program.
I switched to VTC about 1.5 months ago and doubled my $/day. These alternative script coins seem to be fairing better than plain scrypt.
Ive got a total of 7 GPU rigs, with 2 on VTC/MON and the other 5 running on scryptguild.com
Getting what I feel is a decent return, my rigs reached ROI back in Feb, even including electricity.
It's not going to be worth it for me to setup AC for my rigs though, so I have been starting to dial-back the intensity when it get's hot (in the garage).
What I need to do is get all my rigs converted to Scrypt-N/Jane and I should be good for a while longer.

What about groestl? Much less power consumption for a much higher hash rate. Myriad shows some promise; plus Diamond (DMD) who could be considered an "old school" coin (therefore ruling them out from being a  "pump and dump", since the the development team has far fewer DMD than early adopters)  point just switched to groestl algo, with a 50% proof of stake kicking in a few years down the line.

It's an interesting move, to be certain.
