What part of portable programming don't you get? On platforms where
something is lacking, a portable program will use replacement functions to
make up for the platform limitations (autoconf is particularly helpful in
determining whether a platform has limitations so the replacement is not
used on platforms with more features, and gnulib is a good supply of a lot
of replacement functions).
And what part of open source programming don't you get? If it bugs you,
write and submit a patch, so that cygwin WILL have llrint. Cygwin won't
have it until someone takes the time to write it.
