If you like, why not introduce a namespace CYGWIN:: or Cygwin::, e.g. there are several modules you didn't mention which are supposed to run *for* or *with* a specific application like Apache:: or XMail:: or PLP:: or YAML::, so why not introduce the namespace Cygwin:: (if you look at Cygwin like just another application). I would be perfectly happy with a Cygwin:: namespace!
