Two showstoppers:\n\n\t- cygwin does not support IPv6 (yet). Therefore, it does\n\t  not have getaddrinfo() and friends. (minor showstopper)\n\n\t- fork() and mmap() together have problems. This manifests\n\t  itself in \"git-diff-tree -p\" not working. (showbomber)\n\nNo big problem for me, I only tested cygwin out of curiosity.\n\nCiao,\nDscho\n"}]}
