I had to re-read your message a few times to make any sense of it. I'll try=
 to
sum it up as best as i can, please verify that no meaning was lost in the p=
rocess.

Your issue is with portable projects (that can be compiled for W32; you see=
m to
focus on Cygwin specifically, but i presume you mean any W32, not just Cygw=
in -
i.e MinGW too). They are:

1) Getting ifdefs for W32/Cygwin-specific code. You dislike that this damag=
es
readability, but since no W32/Cygwin-specific code gets compiled for
non-W32/Cygwin platforms, you're kind of "ok" with this.

2) Getting redesigned to fit W32/Cygwin better (you gave no specific exampl=
es,
but i presume that you've meant this too; if you didn't, please say so) - l=
ike
getting functions that are no-ops everywhere except on W32/Cygwin, getting
abstractions that are only meaningful on W32/Cygwin.

3) Getting features that only have meaning on W32/Cygwin (or have meaning on
other platforms as well, but you dislike these features), but which introdu=
ce
dependencies that otherwise would not be there.

Does that cover it?
