# but cygwin+nt _is_ a different platform from cygwin+w9x. 

I would say that cygwin on Windows is more different from 
cygwin on NT than FreeBSD is from NetBSD.  Yet the various
flavours of BSD distinguish themselves in that field; they
do not just say "BSD" and put the qualifiers off someplace
else.  

OTOH, I would think that cygwin on Windows 98 SE is for
all practical purposes identical to cygwin on Windows 
95 OSR2, and I don't know what differences there may
be with XP.  

I *think* I agree with the sentiment that too much 
information is better than too little.  Up to a point.
