     2 Starting with Raptor 2.13.0, it is also possible to use Cygwin 1.7 instead of
       
     3 Cygwin 1.5. Some work was necessary to add support for Cygwin 1.7 due to a
       
     4 change in command line interface in some of the Cygwin tools.
       
     5  
       
     6 Due to this change in the command line interface, we have had to introduce the
       
     7 SBS_CYGWIN17 environment variable whose value should be the root directory of
       
     8 the Cygwin 1.7 installation. We hope this is temporary and that we can remove
       
     9 this at some point. The following bullet points indicate the order of
       
    10 precedence of the SBS_CYGWIN and SBS_CYGWIN17 environment variables.
       
    11  
       
    12 * SBS_CYGWIN set,   SBS_CYGWIN17 unset: assume Cygwin 1.5 is being used
       
    13 * SBS_CYGWIN set,   SBS_CYGWIN17 set:   assume Cygwin 1.7 is being used
       
    14 * SBS_CYGWIN unset, SBS_CYGWIN17 set:   assume Cygwin 1.7 is being used
       
    15  
       
    16 You will get errors if you set SBS_CYGWIN to be the root of a Cygwin 1.7
       
    17 installation directory and if SBS_CYGWIN17 is not defined correctly.
