Hi folks,

	Forgive me, couldn't let this pass...

	*ahem*

	Mingw _does not belong to Cygwin_, Mingw is a separate and optional 
set of development tools that just happens to run alongside the Cygwin 
Development Tools and that _may be_ installed with the Cygwin 
Development Tools...it is _not_ a Cygwin development tool, it is a 
Cygwin "Option" in the same way that the "-mno-cygwin" switch is an 
"optional" switch.
	It has only achieved this after a whole bunch of volunteers spent a 
great deal of time and energy (man-years) attempting to integrate the 
two to work with a simple switch called "-mno-cygwin".  It has _not 
been_ a "trivial task".

	Peace,

		Paul G.
