-=head2 Hard Links on Cygwin
-
-FAT partitions do not support hard links (whereas NTFS does), in which
-case Cygwin implements link() by copying the file.  On remote (network)
-drives Cygwin's stat() always sets C<st_nlink> to 1, so the link count

-=head2 Tainting Checks on Cygwin
-
-When Perl is running in taint mode, C<$ENV{PATH}> is considered tainted
-and not used, so DLLs not in the default system directories will not

-the system with messages like:
-
-  Win9x
-    Error Starting Program
-    A required .DLL file, CYGWIN1.DLL, was not found
-
-  WinNT
-    perl.exe - Unable to Locate DLL
-    The dynamic link library cygwin1.dll could not be found in the
-      specified path ...

-Just click OK and ignore them.  When running `C<make test>', 2 popups
-occur.  During `C<./perl harness>', 4 popups occur.  Also, these tests
