Just my point Brian, using both os (win,*nix ) in a trail and error
environment means that it would be a great help if I could use cygwin's
apache in combination with php. Either by bridging f.i. the cgi version
or a cygwin native. It would enable me to test a lot of nix stuff on
several windows stations I come across. I prefer cygwin because it's
faster then the windowed emus around. As you probably know especially
when it comes to webservers them paths and permissions can realy be a
drag in a php module that should run on both systems. Even though php
itself does a great job here.
