Yes but a lot of people have been asking for a DJGPP version, a new
and free RSXNTDJ.  Cygwin and Mingw32 are actually slightly different
because they create pe natively.  (AFAIK.)
	Crtdll.dll has a few annoying things about it, like it has non-ansi
functions such as getch() as _getch(), and all the ansi functions as
they 
are, no underscore, (unlike DJGPP) so a special header file which
#defines
one to the other would have to be included, as per RSXNTDJ's own headers 
for everything.
