Jeez, cygwin! Now there's a tool only a C programmer would think is a good thing :-) It's a bit, well, 1970's, isn't it? :-)

Well, hey, these *are* C/C++ tools we're providing. Besides, cygwin is based on the GNU tools, which were started in 1983, not the '70s! :-)


Seriously, I stayed away from the cygwin stuff for many years, wondering why I should encumber my systems with that old cruft. Now that I've installed them and had a chance to play with them, I can't imagine having a development system without them. Now I don't have to switch over to MPW on my Mac any more... :-)
