| 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.
