wstring support in GCC 4.1.2 in Cygwin 1.5.25-11

Ya I am trying MinGW now. 

But since it is like building on the windows platform, we need to get round
with 
concepts which differ on the posix and the windows system. Currently I am 
dealing with the Signals, one such problem. In in my linux based code we
have used 
the sigaction() concept which is not supported in MinGW. 

Now I am bit worried to estimate the time for the complete activity as I
will 
have to make modifications in the code to make porting successful.
