I didn't know that.  And don't know how to proceed.  I have gcc installed on
cygwin;
does it need to be replaced with a MinGW distro?   Any pointers to a
discussion of this?

I like cygwin; didn't like shipping cygwin*.dll's.

After writing this blog entry, I also tripped across some code.google
projects that were also recommending Msys.

Thanks, Evan ... I'll resume my  research.
