I'm completely new to cygwin (and generally to programming for the MS

the basic socket API of Windows and cygwin is the same based on Berkeley.
I would not recommend to use cygwin if you want to write a plain Windows
program.
I would recommend to use cygwin if you want to write a program for
multiple platforms.
4. How does the performance look? Will my library have really poorer
performance if I use cygwin instead of winsock API?
This is a minor problem for thinks like this.
What is your programming background?
