The maintenance burden is the only issue here, and I just wanted to 
point out the origin. I never enable that run-time option, the small 
gain in speed cannot compensate the loss of cross-platform operations 
for my uses. Actually, my git usage is mostly on Linux, but it seems 99% 
of my maintenance time is on the cygwin side that I almost never use. Sigh.
