we can safely conclude that for "bare" Windows the CBS is much more powerful than the old system, though there are a few issues that require solving still. I am not quite sure about the status on Cygwin - I had some funny problems with C++ there. I should check that ASAP, I guess. One real problem is: how do we ensure we have checked the myriad of build options/environments? The notes on the Wiki are one thing, I guess, and the most systematic so far.
