Maybe people are misreading the "What is is?" in the FAQ and thinking that
Cygwin supports porting of UNIX programs to any platform.  I kind of doubt
that's the case though, since I don't get the impression that most of the 
folks querying about this have poked around the site much.  My guess is its
a result of rumor and innuendo.  If so, that should be easy to stop!;-)
