xc/config/cygwin.cf/BuildDPS was defined to NO. The reasoning behind
this was that DPS was not available on Cygwin.
However, it seems that there was never a BuildDPS flag being checked by
the rest of the build system. This flag seems to have always been
BuildDPSLibraries. Thus, the BuildDPS NO had no effect.
I had just noticed that some DPS programs were failing to build while I
was having trouble with flex. I thought that the BuildDPS flag name had
changed, so I changed the #define to BuildDPSLibraries NO. I committed
that to xoncygwin HEAD. Then I noticed that the flag appears to have
never been BuildDPS. Thus, it should probably just be removed
completely, since it wasn't working in the first place. I am rebuilding
the tree now and will probably go ahead and remove the
BuildDPS/BuildDPSLibraries flag(s) if there are no errors during the build.
Does this seem reasonable to all, or have I missed something?
