Sorry, I don't understand the problem you are trying to solve. Could you please explain it in more detail? This feature was added in response to an explicit request of some Cygwin users. I don't want to remove it without a very good reason. After all, if you don't need DOS-style file names, you can simply refrain from using them in your Makefiles, and then you will not see any effect of this support. > I think we should also ask MinGW team about __MSYS__ definition. MSys is > close to Cygwin, so perhaps this should also be removed. MSYS supports DOS-style file names, so removing that would seem wrong. However, I don't speak for MSYS developers, so I'll defer to their judgment.
