Re: [cdt-core-dev] CDT core plan

  Hi, all!

 As I have said already in cdt-debug we in Interstron Ltd (www.interstron.com) would use CDT under Win 2000 using Cygwin and gdb 5.2.1. I want to repeat it there in cdt-core and also want to say that supporting of Cygwin will be great for us because we planning to use Project managment GNU utils a lot(automake, autoconf) and maybe we will make some contribution in these theme.

 Thanks,
