It's those types of accidents that I like and are ones that get things
moving along...

Is there anyway that we could eliminate the need for cygwin?

I think that to expect someone to install cygwin in order to run the
testing would place a very high 'bar'.

I would dearly love to come up with a dead stupid EXE which any joe
could run to perform the basic tests.  If someone wanted to run the full
suite of test, then a CYGWIN install could be in order.
