Things like that are strewn throughout the code. My approach this time
is going to be any if or case or #ifdef that checks cygwin or mingw or
msys or win32 etc. gets expunged. What I'm really wondering is are
there any CPP flags or autotools settings that I need to _not_ expunge
for purposes of signals, timing, networking, or getting the right
headers?
