Indeed.  My goal is to switch from cygwin to mingw once I feel that the
cygwin packages I'm making are as featureful as I want them to be.
Then, when I switch to mingw, I can work on porting all the missing
features there to mingw.  Also, if I reach a point at which I can't
solve any of the problems I have left for the cygwin port, I'll probably
switch to mingw then.  Right now, though, I just don't have enough time
to even work on my cygwin pacakges.  I just got a new job, and school
starts here in a week.  Wish me luck.
