I imagine that all the problems noted only really matter if you're trying to use it as a development environment, which would, to be blunt, be a really fucking stupid thing to do. If you want to write code for Unix, then write code *for Unix*. If you want to write code for Windows, then use the Windows tools. Approximately no-one should write code for cygwin, for its goal is to provide a set of user tools, not to be a development platform. It succeeds in meeting that goal. It is of course hateful in certain matters, like how it treats the roots of filesystems. -- David Cantrell | Nth greatest programmer in the world " In My Egotistical Opinion, most people's ... programs should be indented six feet downward and covered with dirt.
