A small quibble. In gcc under Cygwin, there is the -mno-cygwin option which
lets you create binaries that run in Windows natively. I've actually created
small apps that make Windows calls (for example, FindWindow) in C, and
compiled this under Cygwin, since my installation of MSVC++ was hosed, and
no one at work knew where the installation media was. This isn't a common
use, but really handy.
