Good morning!

Small comment about 3.5.0 commit "Cygwin: sparse support: enable
automatic sparsifying of files on SSDs"
https://cygwin.com/git/?p=newlib-cygwin.git;a=commit;h=832e91422c4ae9b2dcd0c307779f3dd53ee9c0ac

Can this functionality be extended to VMware and QEMU virtual disks, please?

Also, does Cygwin have a syslog where people can check whether the
feature is on or off?
