Yeah, agreed. In actuality, I'm working on a cross platform library
and right now I'm just working on the Win32 support. The vast majority
of my work is done on Mac OS X. In fact, the app that I'm debugging is
built on Mac OS X via a MinGW cross compiler. I really am trying to
avoid Win32 as much as possible.
That said, Cygwin and MinGW make this process extremely easy compared
to how bad it could be :)
