ExtUtils::MM_Cygwin does not have to work on anything but Cygwin, same way that we don't expect ExtUtils:MM_Unix to work on Cygwin. If it did, we wouldn't need MM_Cygwin. If you really want to try them out, you can always just plop C<$^O = 'cygwin'> at the top of your local copy of the test and watch the pretty explosions. -- Michael G.
