LyX/Cygwin

LyX has been ported to Win32 using the Cygwin environement. The port
consists of a few small tweaks to deal with DOS-style pathnames, so
LyX can use Win32 TeX distros like fptex and MiKTeX. There's also a
cygwin TeTeX port, but the native Win32 ports have a definite speed
advantage. Besides that, nothing fancy.
There are two ways to run LyX on Windows:
* as a native Windows application, using the Qt/Win Free clone of
Trolltech's cross-platform Qt toolkit.
* as a POSIX application running under the Cygwin environment.

options. Please refer to README.Win32 if you'd like to run LyX
as a native Windows application.
