Sorry, I'm still very confused... which issue? I don't understand what the problem was nor even do I understand completely what should be changed to fix it. J> Umm, lots of things.

This is already wrong... We should use OS_UNIX for cygwin. This will probably fix some things -- and might break other ones too.

Nerijus, where was it defined for your builds (you added it to M, right?)? J> So here is the list of code changes I made to get it all to work.

What I'd really like, in fact, would be a patch which I could apply to the sources, preferrably to the latest cvs which already has some of the fixes below applied (those mentioned in your previous message to be exact), this would make fixing these issues simpler. But, once again, I think cygwin should be treated as Unix and not Windows at all, and this will change a lot of things. Or maybe this should be an option somehow? What do you think?
