Mozilla vis-à-vis Cygwin

[Randall R Schulz]

Hi,

A while back there was some talk about the feasibility of a 
Cygwin-based Mozilla. In perusing the release notes for Mozilla 1.4 
(<http://www.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla1.4rc1/>) I noticed this:

- As of Mozilla 1.4b, it is possible to build Mozilla for Win32 using 
GCC. See the win32 build instructions 
(<http://www.mozilla.org/build/win32.html>) for details.


Perhaps this represents a meaningful portion of a the porting work 
necessary to create a GCC- / Cygwin- / X-based Mozilla variant.
