[mpich-discuss] Fwd: mpich-3.2 using cygwin

[Jeff Hammond]

Ok.  I did not realize you added Cygwin to the list of unsupported
platforms.  Please do not lump Cygwin into Windows.  Just say you don't
support Cygwin.  Equating Cygwin to Windows is both incorrect and insulting
to a fantastic project that approximates Linux in every meaningful way, at
least in my experience.

I assume you still support FreeBSD running on top of Windows via
VirtualBox.  FreeBSD is also an approximation to Linux ;-)
