Then - I cannot do anything better than:

 *** Christopher: I am truly sorry. ***

With all this in mind, it looks like my knowledge of "sayings" is null and
void. It makes me even more sad. It opens up questions about my knowledge of
the English language - once again. :-[
Fine tuning needed, at least.

 This is somewhat questionable IMO. No doubt that __MINGW32__ is something
that comes from the mingw project.
 But as it is available from the cygwin/bash command line it should be at
least MENTIONED in the cygwin docs too. Even a *broken* link could have
helped.

 As I was looking I had _no idea_ of WHAT to look for. This might have been
shortsighted of me, as you look on it now (with mingw in mind), but that is
how it was - I have no excuses WRT this.
