Dear Larry,
I don't think that's a viable solution. One of the important benefits of
cygwin is to be able to part programs from Unix to Windows. Now you might
not be using numeric C++ packages, but lots of other people do. We do not
want to go and change all Makefiles, do we ?
Also, providing the patch would prevent other people having to waste 4 days
with tracking the bug. Ok, somebody will have to waste time to install the
patch of course, but I think in the end it's worth it, especially as I won't
be the one installing the patch :-).
Kris
