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?
