Synopsis: bootstrap-pkgsrc on cygwin (patch)

State-Changed-From-To: open->feedback
State-Changed-By: joerg@netbsd.org
State-Changed-When: Fri, 22 Dec 2006 21:50:30 +0000
State-Changed-Why:
How likely is it that Cygwin will work better than Interix?
Do we want to have support for both?
I don't want to support Cygwin as it is using the Win32 subsystems which
adds a number of nasty side-effects, e.g. breaking of Unix filesystems with
regard to consecutive dots in filenames etc.
