Well, all I would ask is how many of the people using Cygnus from the net are
doing cross-compiling, different hosts, or even different versions of Cygnus on
the same machine? I know there ARE some, I suspect they're the vast minority.

That would be AWESOME!!! By moving around directories, I managed to get something
approaching a "normal" directory strucutre, i.e. underneath g:\cygnus is
/bin
/etc
/u
/usr
/usr/bin
/usr/css
/usr/etc
/usr/include
/usr/lib
/usr/libexec
/usr/local
/usr/local/bin
/usr/local/include
/usr/local/info
/usr/local/lib
/usr/local/man
/usr/local/share
and so on. And, all of this is without having to do any weird mounts (I have
g:\cygnus mounted as /) , so anything approaching it would be wonderful; if you
simply had to keep it g:\cygnus\cygwin-b<ver>, that wouldn't be too bad; we'd just
to move everything up one level if we wanted to eliminate it.
This also makes our PATHs, GCC_PREFIX, etc. a whole lot shorter <bg>.
Thanks!
