Yeah, and the only way "to know for sure" that putting your hand on a
hot stove will burn it is to "actually try" that, also.

Are you just being "mean" (viz the acronym--other epithets come to
mind) for the helluvit? IMHO asking "Can Cygwin do X," after making a
reasonable FAQ-search, is entirely appropriate on this list.

Do you grasp the concept of BVT? It's a small subset of testing, run
on a build box, to give immediate feedback regarding the utility of a
build. (But now that I think about it, given the havoc wrought by some
recent Cygwin builds, perhaps the concept of BVT _is_ new to you.)
