That only takes care of the C++ library portion. The problem with Cygwin is 
lack of support for the C library portion. That is supplied by Newlib. I've 
been in contact with those developers, and some discussions are under way. 
No idea yet if it will amount to anything.

Curiously, one of the people involved is Alex Stepanov. But not the one you 
think. Turns out there is more than one Alex Stepanov in the computer 
industry:-)
