One of the important benefits of cygwin is to be able to part programs from Unix to Windows. Now you might not be using numeric C++ packages, but lots of other people do. We do not want to go and change all Makefiles, do we ? Also, providing the patch would prevent other people having to waste 4 days with tracking the bug. Ok, somebody will have to waste time to install the patch of course, but I think in the end it's worth it, especially as I won't be the one installing the patch :-).
