==========================================================================
Twas all so minorly amused by this discussion as I was  just about to
ask if setup was supposed to be able to be compiled under cygwin.
I'm  using "setup-2.249.2.5.tar.bz2"....

Not that I'm demanding anything, or anything, and not to be disagreeable
(though I'm often seen that way)...but could you give me any hints
as to why I'm unable to compile -- other than "well, you idjiot
(inflected form of idiot), it's obvious that you didn't declare ostream
in the proper scope!"...:-(.  Very sad.

(*wry smile*)
