.exe magic in Cygwin

[Al]

Hello,

I would like to estimate the 	expenses to port general linux sources to Cygwin.

I did look into Cygwins patch for coreutils. It has 1231 lines of diff
code. A lot of the stuff is related to the ".exe" magic done by
cygwin.

Do I have to implement that magic in this extend into every package
that I would like to run on Cygwin or is this rather special in the
case of coreutils?

Thank you for advice

Al
