Issues I know of:
1) Expect doesn't seem to build (on cygwin)
2) Insight not very stable on cygwin (these problems seems to be all
related to the tcl/tk upgrade).
I would guess that #1 should be pretty easy to fix.
#2, on the other hand, is a little tougher. I've got one or two patches
lying around that fix a few bugs in it, but there are still some other
issues:
o images in HELP don't render
o bringing up a target dialog causes a hang/crash (I believe irox had a
workaround for this)
I'll admit, I haven't played with Insight under windows a whole lot
(especially for embedded work), but I think Martin has, and he is not
having as many problems.
Maybe I'm just over-reacting?
