Re: [boost] [filesystem] building for cygwin

I know it's possible because the cygwin package maintainer for boost 
re-compiled the boost 1.33.1 package for me a while ago to include 
-DBOOST_POSIX_API, to get the expected behavior on cygwin. If you post 
this to the cygwin mailing list (you can get at 
http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.cygwin/ if you don't want to subscribe to 
the mailing list), I'm sure he can help you out.
