Does anyone have any info about how UWIN compares with GNU-Win32?  I
have never used UWIN.  In particular:

How good/bad is UWIN's signal handling?

Does UWIN support process groups?

How does UWIN's fork implementation differ from that of GNU-Win32?

How does UWIN deal with the perennial issue of text vs. binary data in
files and pipes?
