Well having the POSIX namespace is still outsite of the goals of this
project. When I run Windows I use MSYS all the time so of course people
like me will want to run it on ReactOS. I even did some testing a while
back and it works now on ReactOS except with have this nasty forking
bug.....so as long as you only run 1 application that does not fork you
are ok <g>

So yeah we will support it like we will try to support any other
Windows application but it will never be part of the default release.

Thanks
Steven
