I don't think supporting cygwin and mingw-msys is nuts. I say this of course as an upstream developer whose main concern is simplifying the build process for an xml editor that targets windows and linux so I am biased. However, considering windows moves a lot slower than Fedora core, I think its worth the effort. > I can tell you that for Fedora, for example, gcc is churning at an > astounding rate.

I'll test mingw and cygwin. I can't guarantee I can fix all issues that pop up, but I can run ./configure and when it breaks try and fix it and report my findings and fixes. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
