Can this >information be removed to facilitate testing for Cygwin? I don't see why this is necessary. It comes up repeatedly and the extremely simple solution is to match on CYGWIN*. Many other systems use this convention. For instance, look at gdb's configure.in or configure.tgt script. There is a 'hpux*' and a 'solaris*'. The information *could* potentially be important. Cygwin running on NT is not the same thing as Cygwin running on 95. cgf
