 <h3>Note for <a name="Cgywin">Cygwin</a> users</h3>
-<p>The library's implementation code automatically detects the current platform,
-and compiles the POSIX or Windows implementation code accordingly. Automatic
-platform detection during object library compilation can be overridden by
-defining either BOOST_POSIX_API or BOOST_WINDOWS_API macros. With the exception of the Cygwin
-environment, there is usually no reason to define these macros, as the
-software development kits supplied with most compilers only support a single
-platform.</p>
-<p>The Cygwin package of tools supports
-traditional Windows usage, but also provides an emulation layer and other tools
-which can be used to make Windows act as Linux (and thus POSIX), and provide the
-Linux look-and-feel. GCC is usually the compiler of choice in this environment,
-as it can be installed via the Cygwin install process. Other compilers can also
-use the Cygwin emulation of POSIX, at least in theory.</p>
-<p>Those wishing to use the Cygwin POSIX emulation layer should define the
-BOOST_POSIX_API macro when compiling bother user programs and the
-Boost.Filesystem's object-library.</p>
+<p>The library's implementation code treats Cygwin
+as a Windows platform, and thus uses the Windows API.</p>
