Yes, POSIX is the answer. That is the environment Prefix lives in. |
| 13 |
Interix and Cygwin set up a POSIX layer into windows. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
MinGW is only a collection of single programs that live in the native |
| 16 |
windows environment. |
| 17 |
MSYS is a unix like shell, but no fullblown POSIX layer. |
| 18 |

In theory I can replace all Cygwin stuff with Gentoo builds, but I |
| 20 |
still depend on the cygwin.dll itself, which gives me the |
| 21 |
compatibility layer. |
