 GNU C (Cygwin)

 Cygwin provides a bash shell and GNU tools environment running on
 NT 4.0, Windows 9x and Windows 2000. Consequently, a make of OpenSSL
 with Cygwin is closer to a GNU bash environment such as Linux rather
 than other W32 makes that are based on a single makefile approach.
 Cygwin implements Posix/Unix calls through cygwin1.dll, and is
 contrasted to Mingw32 which links dynamically to msvcrt.dll or
 crtdll.dll.

 As of version 1.1.1 Cygwin is relatively unstable in its handling
 of cr/lf issues. These make procedures succeeded with versions 1.1 and
 the snapshot 20000524 (Slow!).
