Oh my, Igor, why are you so offensive all the time?  May a hippo fall
on you(*)!

(*) With parachute so you have some time to get away in time.  Not that
people think I'm trying to be offensive.

Ah, the ultimate offensive combination: "non-portable".  How dare I?

  I would have thought it went without saying that pretty much all hippos
are "non-portable"!

  OK, I'm all for Igor getting away in time, but giving them parachutes does
spoil that lovely SPLATTTTT sound they usually make when they hit the
ground!  Can you strap tape-recorders to their backs so that we can still
have sound-effects?

If you strap the tape drive to their back(*), I'm sure you won't have much
of a sound effect on touch-down...

Didn't we already conclude that the Cyghippo was fast and spirited, and

Very fast, especially when flying down from a couple of kilometers high

And "non-potable"... :-)  Unless you have a *really* large pot.

Those who know physics understand that most parachutes won't really delay
the hippo's fall for long -- just long enough for someone to notice and
step away from the target spot.  Then the straps break and you still get
the SPLATTTT.  IIRC, the same happens with jet fighters and disposable
chutes.

No no no.  Hippos do not go SPLATTTTT.  It's whales that go SPLATTTT (a 
"sudden wet thud" cf. Chp. 18)  Didn't you ever read The Hitchhiker's

  No, whales go KERRRRRRRSQUELCHSLOSHSPPLATTTTTTTT.

  Whereas with hippos it's more of a WHEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeBOOOOOMTHUDSPLATTT.





  I hope this helps clear matters up.

  Well, that should be enough time to get out from under *most* hippos.

I'm confused.  But that's a different story...

Does the hippo go SPLATTT when it hits the custard?

For the record, I think the offensive words were along the lines of:

Igor, go wash your mouth out with soap!

This thread was the classic example of "I'm trying to port my
application.  Please change the cygwin distribution to make that
possible."

It reminds me of a commercial we have in this area where someone is
trying to sell their house so they ask the police to temporarily reroute
the interstate highway by the house so they get maximum visibility.

Were they?  There's another interpretation, too:

"If I skip all offensive words /that come to mind/, I have to..."

Now, what do web services have to do with this discussion?

Heh, why isn't this phrasing in the FAQ?  With a short answer of "No." :-)

Note that this isn't even a porting question -- the application is just
buggy since it looks for a hard-coded DLL name to load dynamically.  The
application itself isn't even a Cygwin application.  Yikes.

Well, they *could* require the user to temporarily uninstall Cygwin...

  Damn fools!  Everyone knows they'll never be able to sell their house as
long as the bike-shed is that horrible colour!  They should have got the
