With cygwin, it should build using ./configure && make && make check && make
install. It's just another flavour for autoconf. Although it didn't used to
be true, recently I am more surprised when a package does _not_ build using
cygtools.
However, the unix emulation layer is nowhere near as efficient as win32
native at such important tasks as disk and socket I/O.
It's a wonderful user level tool. I use it everyday for many things. But
deploying production systems isn't one of the things I'd do.
However, since I just recently sold management on linux/apache/tomcat as our
next gen platform, and I can put that on my desktop as well, it's not much
skin off my nose if the connectors are suboptimal on NT. <g>
