Hi Richard, It seems to me then that these are some additional things to note other than how to compile for Cygwin: the current broken behavior of Cygwin with multicast, that unicast behaves better but still quirky, and a sample gmond.conf that also disables the metrics which the Cygwin build doesn't currently support (like loadavg). I also noticed that the number of processors metric is broken on my dual core machine (it reports a single processor), which seems like something that Cygwin should be able to support without a problem.
