Is it? Pardon my n00bness but I recall once trying to run a Cygwin 
utility from Window's cmd, just for the fun of it. It didn't work.

But back to the main question: will a library compiled under Cygwin in 
the manner I described be linkable in Visual Studio .NET? Your answer 
taken to the extreme, would suggest that I can link any of the core 
Cygwin (*.a) libraries and link it with the MS VS.NET toolchain.

Thanks for not flaming.
