Does anyone have any information on what Gentoo/Cygwin is? Who is in charge of this, and is it really at the stage where we should be recruiting people to work on it? I'm *extremely* wary of the idea of this kind of thing being committed without prior discussion -- there's far more difference between anything we currently have and Cygwin than there is between osx or bsd and linux-gnu, and we know how much work those two are already...
I think Patrick Lauer is the only one who's actually doing stuff with Gentoo/Cygwin at the moment, so ask him. Judging by the extreme lack of activity on the gentoo-cygwin list, I don't think it's nearly at the stage where recruitment should start.
I would think this port would potentially open the biggest market to gentoo, and the scariest one too...
In order I would say:
-Learn about OSX and "system provided services"
-Take a look at the BSD and OSX to see if there is QC things that would be usefull to bring over.
Unless there is a team really needed it, I would wait until the 2 point have stabilised and feel comfortable.
