to add another testimony, I've been successfully running FSL off cygwin 
for the past year and a half (using exactly all the directions on the 
FSL website) so I'd be happy with keeping it in cygwin..

"Well! I've often seen a cat without a grin; but a grin without a cat! It's the most curious thing I ever say in my life!" [Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland]


- Mais alors que dois-je devenir?
- Un curieux!
- Ce n’est pas un métier.
- Ce n’est pas encore un métier. Voyagez, écrivez, traduisez, apprenez à vivre partout. Commencez tout de suite. L’avenir est aux curieux de profession. [Truffaut - Jules et Jim]


I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity. [E.A. Poe]


- “Contrariwise,” continued Tweedledee, “if it was so, it might be;
- and if it were so, it would be;
- but as it isn’t, it ain’t.
- That’s logic.” [Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking-Glass]


- "Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?"
- "That depends a good deal on where you want to get to," said the Cat.
- "I don't much care where-" said Alice.
- "Then it doesn't matter which way you go," said the Cat.
- "As long as I get somewhere," Alice added as an explanation.
- "Oh, you're sure to do that," said the Cat, "if you only walk long enough." [Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland]
