I hate to be mean here but this project pretty obviously has nothing to
do with cygwin. Fred Fish is a great programmer and a great guy but
this is not a "sister project". It's just another project out there
which tried to accomplish similar goals.
Let's not start a discussion of other projects throughout the world
which tried the obvious plan of porting GNU tools to a non-UNIX
platform. There were enough GNU programmers employed by Cygnus that the
chances are good that one would be involved and you could always infer a
nebulous connection to Cygwin where none actually exists.
