looking at the SDK headers
there are a significant number of structures (several hundred)
that need an alignment other than
the default, is there any reason that anyone
knows of why

/* Enable #pragma pack. */
#define HANDLE_SYSV_PRAGMA

shouldn't/couldn't be added to config/i386/cygwin32.h ?

I found this in the emx patches, but it is used in several
systems, 

go32.h
isc.h
osfrose.h
sco.h
sco5.h
scodbx.h

(and yes I know that using #pragma for anything is a BAD THING
don't blame me microsoft did it :)

Linux a platform built by, and for users, standing on
the firm legs of reliability, and speed.

Microsoft Windows, a platform without a leg to stand on.
