That I don't know, but Moz says you can build Moz with Cygwin: see
http://www.mozilla.org/build/win32.html
Intriguing, but I don't think this produces a Cygwin binary. From the "GNU
Tools for Microsoft Windows (the cygwin toolkit)" section of that page:
"Cygwin is a UNIX-like environment for Windows... Mozilla uses a developer
set of cygwin packages... These include gawk, make and zip utilities, and
optionally cygwin perl. GCC is _not_ used and does not need to be installed."
[ Emphasis and editing mine, of course. ]
Note especially the last sentence. I believe this is intended for people
who don't want to use the VisualC++ IDE, but I assume that since GCC is not
used the VisualC++ compiler is and thus the end result is identical to that
built with Visual C++.
Am I misinterpreting that?
