If you can do that without losing features, then it's of course okay.
But losing features in the name of greater Unix compatibility is IMHO
a grave mistake.  It will prevent many Windows users from using Cygwin
tools as a development platform for Windows programs.  Likewise,
waiting indefinitely for the ``right'' solution to surface and in the
meantime rejecting a less ``right'' but nevertheless clean solution,
is also a mistake.

However, this is not something to be discussed on the GDB list.
