Cygwin is posix or try to be afaik so maybe it is not so strange that  
monit runs on it, although impressing. But outside, that is another  
story. File-paths in the monit control file will probably be the  
least of the problems. Anyway it is going to be interesting to learn  
what you can make out of it.

Do a cvs urN diff against monit's public CVS HEAD. See also https://
