;-)  Can think of some who would love to see the death of -mno-cygwin.

	Phasing it out might be a better option, for as long as there is sufficient documentation and support for the 
cross-compiler.  Flip-side of getting rid of -mno-cygwin is that all those folks who are currently using the switch on a 
regular basis, but who don't see a need to actually download and install Mingw, would likely feel the greatest impact.
