My biggest issue with Cygwin (compared to SFU) right now is the lack of
support for paths longer than MAX_PATH characters. AFAIK there are patches,
but they are not in the standard build, and only partially solve the problem.
I want to play with GNU arch a little bit, and the path limitation is a
problem, although workarounds exist.

Wolfgang
