I 've got compile ALL *base* packages of GNOME standard distribution
with cygwin 1.3.1 with a minor changes.
But I couldn't compile *core* packages.
I think GNOME boys may do a preliminary port (not perfect) with very few
work.
Cygwin is very mature now (pthreads is almost complete).
It would be a big step to support Linux adoption without sacrifice many
years of Windows inversion.
Other big step: port Java JDK to cygwin (we could work remotely with X
served with Windows machines). Itôs necessary support the CGJ proyect
and port to cygwin then.
