Wow, major release.

I should rebase Cygnal to Cygwin 3.0.

What is the use case for Cygwin vs. WSL at this point?

> - Support for case sensitive directories. mkdir(2) automatically creates directories within the Cygwin installation dir as case sensitive now.

> This feature requires Windows 10 1803 or later and WSL installed!

Interesting, so is cygwin going to be based on WSL?

Used to use Cygwin at work, where I was not allowed to use Linux, just Windows.

Remember putting all the usr binaries (cat,ls,sed,etc.) in the windows path and it was great!

Among other significat changes - using kerberos over LSA... Interesting!
