Note that from my POV there are 2 issues here: 1. ASDF should run correctly under cygwin. 2. At the moment, the only way I know of to run the tests on Windows is through Cygwin, since they are based on make and a shell script. It is possible that at least #2 could be eased by running under MinGW, but I have never used MinGW. It sounds like it might not have as many pathname incompatibilities as Cygwin. I don't know if I can install MinGW without breaking my Cygwin install. I'd hate to mess up my (extremely brittle and rickety Windows VM). Any advice (probably off-list would be best) would be much appreciated. thanks, r
