The question is nuanced around "what is the recommended platform". Now as
individuals we can recommend anything we want if it works for us.. but we
also aren't expecting to answer all of Fergus's questions when he tries to
get Cygwin working on his system. I think in the end, for the project, the
recommendation would be whatever Corinna recommends as she is the primary
author of the code these days and the one who would be fixing problems
found.
