Re: cygwin, emacs, mozilla

[Michael F. March]

I am amazed that, considering the warm fuzzy loving relationship
between Microsoft and Netscape/Mozilla, they continue to use VC. I would expect them to lean over backwards to move over to gcc.

They are indeed, but converting the big build process from VC to gcc is not so easy an operation ^_^

BTW: of course they would like some help ;-)

Maybe the first step would be to get Mozilla to compile under Cygwin using X instead of
using all the Windows APIs directly (like what they are trying to do in that Bugzilla ticket
above.) In fact, getting Evolution and Mozilla working under XFree86/Cygwin would be
two worth while efforts.
