Sorry for the long delay. I have been out of the office for some time.

This is rather unsettling. Don't the programmers at Cygnus test for STL functionality?
This is such a big part of where C++ programming is heading.

Where can I download mingw32-gcc-2.95?

Isn't this basicly the whole compiler. Wouldn't it have been easier to just change the path? Why download cygwin at all?

What is the point of this?
Is it so /include appears where so many other Unix program expect it to appear?
I guess you could acheive the samething by
ln -s //d/root/mingw32/h /h
