I suppose it is that too. That's exactly the reason we started a Cygwin
acronym list in the first place -- to make sure people who find acronyms
on the Cygwin lists won't be confused by alternate meanings (which a lot
of the acronyms in the OLOCA have anyway). In the context of Cygwin, CAMP
will have the meaning of "Cygwin/Apache/MySQL/PHP" combo, and not the one
above.
