Yep, thanks a lot from me, too.  But I'm missing two hints in the
http://cygwin.com/faq/faq.html#faq.what.supported section.

First, Windows 2003 Server is missing, and second, we should mention
that Cygwin is also supported in the 32 bit environment WOW64 on 64 bit
versions of Windows XP and 2K3, but that there are no plans to create a
native 64 bit version of Cygwin.
