I don't see these as problems.  The -mno-cygwin switch works correctly with
respect to finding the correct headers.  The problem is that if someone
specifies a header that isn't a mingw header then it will use it anyway.  I
think I have a fix for this problem.

I didn't know if there were any other problems but apparently not.  So, you can
relax a little on this.

Yes, but we will be the ones to add the support.  If you wish to recommend an
action for doing this it would be appreciated.  The -mno-cygwin switch would
need to use only the msvcrt library and use the correct initialization object.
