hugs ffi, cygwin

[R. Legere]

I ran some the of the tests in hugs98/tests. They still suffer from the
wrong
exit code, so it is hard to tell what is going on. I ran some of the tests
by hand
in tests/ffi, and they seem fine. There is no real hard-core marshalling in
there, so I will check that out by hand later. (i have some code I wrote for
work that should do the trick)

So.... so far cygwin works like any unix platform except for the problem
with the exit codes. I dont know what is going on there.

As for MSVC, I have been using that as my main development configuration,
with no problems. Nice !  I did compile it once by hand (including files),
but I never bothered to fully get everything working, as the msi install
works great for me.


As for BCC, I don't use this anymore, so I can't say.  I sold out and bought
MSVC. :)

Cheers!
