Subject: [ruby-talk:23889] popen, fork on Win32

Question re: the Cygwin/MinGW discussion.

If we go the MinGW route, what happens?
1. Do we simply *lose* fork and popen? 
2. Or do we re-implement them, then switch? 
3. Or do we switch, then re-implement them?

I'd hate to see a situation where a program
has a comment saying "this works on all 
platforms except Win32, unless you
use the *old* installation, and then it will 
work."
