Hm .... here's a proposal:

As supporting the Cygnus/Windows target architecture causes never-ending

trouble and uses significantly more than average resources, I would

propose attempting to drop cygwin support from EPICS Base.

We have well-working support for Linux and native Windows, and IMHO

cygwin was after all a bridge solution until virtualization arrived on

the Windows platform. It seems not just being a moving target, but the

wrong target in the end.

Should we send out a message on tech-talk, asking if there are actually

any EPICS on Cygwin users left?

Cheers,
