Yes, really, Cygwin got 10 years old, 10 days ago.  The first entry in
the ChangeLog was

  Wed Oct 18 15:34:49 1995  steve chamberlain  <sac@slash.cygnus.com>

	* Moved from newlib.

after newlib was pregnant for three months:

  Wed Jun 28 18:34:54 1995  Steve Chamberlain  <sac@slash.cygnus.com>

	* configure.in (i[345]86-*-pe):  New target (NT).
	* host/any: DLLTOOL new.
	* libc/sys/win32/{crt0.c, kernel32.def, longjmp.c, setjmp.c, syscalls.c
	wintypes.h,sys/file.h,sys/resource.h}: Preliminary support for
	WIN32 (just enough to cross host the comp-tools).

Will Cygwin still exist in another 10 years?  Well, I'm positive.
