This is the place. > 4) What about really minor things (for the perfectionist in us > all...)? There were some other configure-related minor issues, like nan() > taking no arguments on cygwin32, etc. We may find it hard to incorporate portability patches at this stage, but they will certainly become interesting later. Those that we can test and run without running Cygwin32 are interesting now. Those that introduce what we must for now consider "dead code" might have to wait, because they are subject to code rot.
