Hi Peter,

Graphite needs std::wstring, which is not yet supported in cygwin.  But 
it will be soon, probably in time for the TL2009 release:

	http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2009-03/msg00422.html

It will, however, require gcc-4.  So we're back to the issue of teaching 
the texlive build system to statically link libstd++ when using cygwin's 
gcc-4.  Do you think that's doable based on what I sent you yesterday? 
Or are there further tests I should do?

Regards,

Ken
