All,
Given that there have been great strides in supporting GNUstep
under MinGW, I believe it to be redundant to continue to support
CYGWIN since it's not currently being maintained and since MinGW
does everything needed to get GNUstep working properly under Windows.
For this reason, I believe that support for GNUstep under CYGWIN
should be deprecated and eventually removed.
Are there any comments or objections regarding this?
Well, I think it's fair to say we don''t really support it ... and I
guess we should make that clear on the website.
However, I don't think that means we should should intentionally
break anything (ie remove cygwin specific stuff mfrom the
codebase) ... and if someone is willing to do the work to make/keep
it usable (ie suport it informally) we should accept their changes.
Actually, since cygwin is supposed to emulate unix, I think gnustep
should treat cygwin as a unix variant .. so maybe little/no special
support is necessary.
