I've decided not to attempt support for Cygwin in the next version of Boost.Filesystem.

I don't entirely understand the implications of this. Without Boost.Filesystem, are we effectively saying that Boost as a whole non longer supports the predominant free C++ compiler, or is that a bit of an overstatement? Does lack of Boost.Filesystem support impact the useability of other areas of Boost? Thanks, Rob.
