This Just In: Mozilla Releases Compiled Using Cygwin

[Randall R Schulz]

Howdy, Folks,

I installed the new Mozila (1.6) yesterday and was exploring the 
"about:*" pages via the new "about:about" master about page. Check out 
"about:buildconfig":

Evidently they're using the MSVC compiler, but use Cygwin for their 
Windows-based build activities. Too bad we can't see what's in 
"$(CYGWIN_WRAPPER)".
