Good to know that the mingw32-gcc 3.2 generated binaries work with
cygwin-gcc 3.3. I'm a bit surprized that it even works without the
'-mno-cygwin' flag. Mixing the msvcrt and cygwin runtimes is not a good
thing IMHO, and creates some licensing issue (linking against the cygwin
POSIX layer makes your code GPL).
