I don't have a firm feature list yet or a date.  That said, we are
aiming to make a new release as soon as it makes sense.  We're in the
middle of Cygwin32 performance optimizations right now so we are
waiting until Cygwin32 is well-tested again and ready for another
release.  Windows 98 support will be present.  Hopefully, EGCS 1.1
will be included as the compiler.  I will let everyone know when we
know more.

I am looking into upgrading sed to 3.01 but I don't expect that it
will make that big of a difference in configure times.  (Hopefully
I'm wrong).  Linux has the advantage that I/O appears to be much
faster on ext2 partitions.  If you compare Linux running on a fat
filesystem to NT on the same, a lot of the performance difference goes
away...
