Good to see the happen. Unfortunate that it took so long. Nice quotes:

"The development suite includes a GNU compiler, linker and assembler
utilities within the Trolltech Qt(r) Designer, the CodeWarrior Debugger 
for ARM(r) architectures, and the Cygwin(tm) environment, which is 
compatible with the Linux OS and is hosted on the Windows OS."

and:

"- Ability to use GNU compiler, linker and assembler utilities within 
the Cygwin(tm) environment, which is based on the Linux OS and is hosted 
on Windows 98/NT/2000/XP."

Which are both false of course. Cygwin has nothing to do with Linux or 
even the "Linux OS". It does not use the linux kernel and does not use 
the Linux standard C library glibc. This is akin to saying Linux is 
based on the SCO OS. oops. somebody did say that didn't they?

Furthermore we read:

"Our tools for Sharp Zaurus were designed by Linux developers for Linux
developers." said Berardino Baratta Metrowerks chief technical officer 
and head of the Metrowerks Linux Solutions Group.

Seems odd to me that a tool written by "Linux developers for Linux 
developers" would only run under Windows. Maybe that's just me.
