Someone on the cygwin irc channel had a problem building a package which
would have been solved if Cygwin defined _POSIX_SOURCE.
I know that Cygwin is not fully POSIX compliant (I really really do) but
I'm wondering if setting _POSIX_SOURCE in the cygwin headers wouldn't
solve more porting problems than it creates.
Any opinions on this? Eric?

P.S. I know that Cygwin isn't fully compliant with POSIX specifications.
