Or more specifically, Cygwin available from

Now here is what I don't understand. You are all complaining that I don't make
a specific mention of Windows. But why should I? Yes, you are perfectly free to
port UNIX software to other OSes, but you can't impose on me or any other UNIX
developers to take this into consideration. I can't know or care about every OS
in the world. It is perfectly reasonable for me as a UNIX developer to be
oblivious of Windows and make no mention of it.
How would you feel if I made my own OS called MSOS 2000 and every time you
released some piece of software I yelled at you "why didn't you tell everyone
that it doesn't work with MSOS 2000?" This is what you are doing with prc-tools
and Windows.
