BIG THANKS to all the people out there who already worked on a Cygwin
port of aforementioned packages. A grep -il cygwin on the
sources almost
always gave me a clue where to put my hands on for the Uwin port.
I guess this is one of the benefits of open source
development. Is Uwin

If we just left out that patch we won't have a problem.
OK.
Two other patches mimic UWIN behavior. That can not be a
problem, since Cygwin also has adopted the UWIN symbolics links.
Mimicing isn't a problem as long as you didn't look into the
sources and get the idea from there. If
I know about that.
Ok. Then that's the way to go. Just follow the procedures in
http://cygwin.com/contrib.html . If your fix is big you'll

OK, I'll fill it out later today.

Glenn found some test cases where mmap() failed and has
also written a nice test program. I will get this to you later.
He also states that the value returned by getpagesize()
must conform to mmap() alignment by definition in the SUSv2.
I'm not quite sure about that, though.
See my
The problem is that by default the Everyone group has the uid and
gid 0. The user can change that in the passwd and group files.
OK, I'll take that out again then.
You just should stick with uid/gid 18 for the user SYSTEM. Are you
familar with the NT security concept? If you want to have

that we can't use your patches. Sorry.
I've never had the chance to look at the UWIN sources. It's proprietary.
As I said before, the UWIN
