I just wanted to make it clear that we aren't going to be making any
special concessions to a product like a virus scanner which cause perfectly
acceptable code to misbehave. If that is the case then it is a situation
for the virus scanner to work out. It's not a requirement that cygwin
work around things like this.
Maybe this is a given but I thought I'd just make it clear.
