Sorry, can't let this one slide in case others stumble across it in the
archives. Cygwin is not an O/S. From the web site:
Cygwin is:
a collection of tools which provide a Linux look and feel environment
for Windows.
a DLL (cygwin1.dll) which acts as a Linux API layer providing
substantial Linux API functionality.
All of that makes Cygwin seem like an O/S sometimes but it's really not
even close.
But you're right that this list isn't a generic programming forum.
