[ale] Don't flame me

[Eric Z. Ayers]

OK,  so what is it that you really want?

I don't want to flame, but cygwin is the tool that is written exactly 
for what you want to do,  and you only have to install one DLL to get 
portability between UNIX and Win32. 

We have had good luck with cygwin and adding on the win32 pthread 
portability library to write an application that does a lot of file io 
and network io.
