When commloops is a little more mature, adding native windows network
IO will actually be feasable and decent-performing, which may make squid
under NT much more accepted.

Seriously though, after commloops and modio #2 is done, things that support
native async io like windows NT/2000 will be easier to port squid to without
needing the cygwin stuff there (much), since you will just have to write a
comm_win32.c (and when I get to it in modio, disk_win32.c as well) .
