Sorry, can't let this one slide in case others stumble across it in the
archives.  Cygwin is not an O/S.  From the web site:

  Cygwin is:

    a collection of tools which provide a Linux look and feel environment
      for Windows.

    a DLL (cygwin1.dll) which acts as a Linux API layer providing
      substantial Linux API functionality.

All of that makes Cygwin seem like an O/S sometimes but it's really not
even close.

But you're right that this list isn't a generic programming forum.
