That's good info.
I'm glad to see that relative paths are never molested. I tried for a
while to confuse Cygwin and native Windows programs using relative
paths, and failed to find a case where the path doesn't mean the same
thing to both sides.
Not all packages are cross-compiler-compatible.
Is that another way of saying that not all packages use autotools? :)
You're not talking about anything different than the sort of thing
Cygwin package maintainers go through, sometimes needing to arm-twist
odd build systems to behave according to cygport's expectations?
