Okay, I spent some time looking at the mailing list archives but found nothing which added anything to this discussion. I would have hoped that my intended offer of use of an Athlon 64 system would have counted as more than just 'idle curiosity' and, anyway, I'm never 'idle'.
Quite honestly, I wondered what 64-bit op system you were hoping to test on. As I said: it all seems to be okay running Win-32 on an AMD-64, and I've not seen 64-bit Windoze around yet.
I would be surprised if you were planning on a Linux version of cygwin for obvious reasons, and AFAIK BeOS, PetrOS, Lindows, Plan9, etc, etc, haven't got 64-bit versions out yet.
Anyway, you've made your point: why should you spend a minute or so telling me something you already know when, with one simple put-down, you can suggest I go search through archives for an hour ? Fine ! Nice attitude, mate !
BTW My plan was to either test for you (under direction) or make the machine available to you via some sort of terminal server and my ADSL connection. I didn't fancy having it transported. I did actually want to contribute something to the cygwin project, as I've found it so valuable over the past couple of years. Shame you weren't interested. Bye.

Hmm. It seems like a search of the mailing list archives would be a
pretty simple way of satisfying this kind of idle curiousity.
