No, I don't think so. Practically, Cygwin is the only Unix platform using
newlib and supporting both of Unix API and Win32 API.
Since I happen to be developing the second Unix platform based on Windows
NT (ignoring Softway's OpenNT - now Microsoft Interix - of course), and
since newlib will become the core of a C runtime, sitting directly on the
Windows NT native API, on which not only my Unix platform and other
components of the React Operating System (<http://www.reactos.com/>) -
including a native port of the Mono platform - but also future developement
kits such as MingWNT, ReactOS-DDK and ReactOS-SSDK will be based, I insist
for wchar_t's constraints to be configurable parameters
(not that this really matters. If my proposal isn't accepted now, you're
going to hear from us again anyway)
