OK, I can add that as an example the comment.
(BTW standard ftp is 21, not 2121...
2121 appears to be a standard port for ftp *proxies*.
I suspect the port number varies from proxy server to proxy server.)

I should add a check for that.  Thanks for the reminder.  (Whether
it's the default depends on where cygwin was installed, I think.)

You're welcome!  Now the big test: do the plugins you build with it
actually work on the systems you want them to?
Let us know how it goes.
