Perhaps you should treat it as a port to a new platform.
So start with getting druntime going (which means recompiling it).
No, no recompile. The idea is very simple:
1. The cygwin provides libraries
2. I can rewrite dirEntries() using functions from cygwin. The
posibility is provided by D language and not by runtime.
3. Profit
What I'm understand wrong? Why simple using of cygwin-libraries can
require druntime recompile?
Cygwin is a massive platform, it isn't just a library.
It is a full port of programs, libraries and who knows what else.
Also you should read this, it pretty much sums up what I'm saying[0].
