- CygWin32 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.
- CygWin32 implements Posix/Unix calls through cygwin1.dll, and is
- contrasted to Mingw32 which links dynamically to msvcrt.dll or
- crtdll.dll.
