You cannot be sure that you did no mistakes. As regards myself, I understand that cygwin related problems are not a priority. I simply hope to pinpoint the problems, suggest a solution and wait that someone more knowleadgeable than me tells if it is ok or suggests something better. For example, while testing I just got this assertion from boost: assertion "src.size() == std::strlen( src.c_str() )" failed: file "../../../../../boost/libs/filesystem/src/path_posix_windows.cpp", line 235 I don't get it without my patch, so, something is going wrong.
