I didn't see the point for my purposes as Cygwin is nicer to work
in than msys while still hosted under Windows, so I am working in
the same way as if it was a native build... however, I don't see
any reason why it shouldn't work...
BTW my initial tests where carried out on Win2K running with FAT32,
I have since tried it on NT4 with NFTS with the same results...
I don't know if it'll work under Windows 98.
Cheers
