Hi Stefano! I updated for the first time in a long time but stumbled on the autoconf 2.69 requirement, it's not available as a package for Cygwin yet. I don't feel like rolling my own autoconf. So, no, I will not test this one until 2.69 is readily available. Sorry. So, reading the patch instead, I think the method for querying case insensitivity seems a bit fragile. /usr/bin/gcc is a symlink on Cygwin and I could easily imagine someone creating a /usr/bin/GCC wrapper script. Not that anybody will die or anything, but still... >From the nit-picking department, I would not specifically mention Cygwin when talking about case insensitivity, I would refer to Windows as a whole instead (since you can make Cygwin case sensitive). BTW, thanks for tackling this! Cheers, Peter
