[liboping] Cygwin attempt, For the Record

[Soren A]

Greetings.

I just subscribed.

Thought I'd post the results (failures) for the attempt to compile
liboping on Cygwin (www.cygwin.com). That way anyone else who
follows can confirm the same failures, or can check beforehand to
see what to expect.

I'm not implying by posting this, that I have the opinion that
liboping *should* have built on Cygwin, or that liboping *has to
become able to* build on Cygwin. Neither of these is my opinion. Of
course, I am sure that there will be potential liboping users who
will *want* liboping to build on Cygwin. How many such users, I
can't know, naturally ;-).

As to the failures, it is just a porting job, I guess. I won't have
the time soon to dive into it myself, but it could happen
eventually.

As a reminder (in connection with the previous posting I made to
this List), I'm collecting my "stuff" relating to liboping at

  Cheers,
