[Fwd: Cygwin/XFree86 patch in XFree86 Bugzilla] Earle - This is for you

[Harold L Hunt II]

Earle,

Does your patch fail gracefully if run on non-NT-based OSes?

If so, I will give my go-ahead.  If not, please modify it so that it
exits if not running on Windows NT-based OSes.

Thanks,

Harold

Hi Harold,

there is a patch in the XFree86 bugzilla

http://bugs.xfree86.org//cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=305

adding support for Windows NT like OSes to xload. I assume that
this will not work on non-NT-like Windows systems as the required
performance counters are not available there.
I would like to commit this code to the XFree86 CVS but I would
like to get an opinion form somebody on the Cygwin team.
If you would rather keep this code in your repository and merge
it at some later time please let me know.

Cheers,
	Egbert.
