Not sure if I qualify as "someone" wrt this issue, but I have an objection. cygwin is for ports of unix tools. I can't see where you have ported anything.

Interesting, but what interests me more is: When are Joe's cygwin mods going to be integrated into the Emacs distribution? I've just updated from the emacs cvs archive and I see none of the cygwin stuff. Are the patches being rejected? Are they even being submitted? -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
