Thanks. I really need to look into getting a high speed Linux setup. I
really only have one computer fast enough for building GCC, and there
really isn't enough disk space availible for Linux.

can use simply "/my/path" and have that single path format work in all
of Cygwin, MSYS, MinGW, and native Windows. It makes everything so much
