Also keep in mind that the Cygnus Win32 stuff is in very early beta
release and still has lots of problems.  For example, "rm -rf" on a
directory with 1,000 files prints an infinite loop of error messages
and hangs the machine when you try to stop it.

Nevertheless, the package basically works and is quite nice.  Not only
that, but they've just made a new release.

One pending issue is the question of linking together object files
made from it and from Microsoft utilities.
