-=head2 Hard Links on Cygwin
-
-FAT partitions do not support hard links (whereas NTFS does), in which
-case Cygwin implements link() by copying the file. On remote (network)
-drives Cygwin's stat() always sets C<st_nlink> to 1, so the link count
-for remote directories and files is not available. In either case,
-these tests will fail:

-=head2 Filetime Granularity on Cygwin

-On FAT partitions the filetime granularity is 2 seconds. The following
-test will fail:

-=head2 Tainting Checks on Cygwin
-
-When Perl is running in taint mode, C<$ENV{PATH}> is considered tainted
-and not used, so DLLs not in the default system directories will not
-be found. While the tests are running you will see warnings popup from
-the system with messages like:
-
- Win9x
- Error Starting Program
- A required .DLL file, CYGWIN1.DLL, was not found
-
- WinNT
- perl.exe - Unable to Locate DLL
- The dynamic link library cygwin1.dll could not be found in the
- specified path ...
-
-Just click OK and ignore them. When running `C<make test>', 2 popups
-occur. During `C<./perl harness>', 4 popups occur. Also, these tests
-will fail:
-
- Failed Test List of failed
- ------------------------------------
- op/taint.t 1, 3, 31, 37
-
-Alternatively, you can copy F<cygwin1.dll> into the directory where the
-tests run:
-
- cp /bin/cygwin1.dll t
-
-or one of the Windows system directories (although, this is B<not>
-recommended).
-
-=head2 /etc/group on Cygwin
-
-Cygwin does not require F</etc/group>, in which case the F<op/grent.t>
-test will be skipped. The check performed by F<op/grent.t> expects to
-see entries that use the members field, otherwise this test will fail:
