The Cygwin build specifically sets the drivers that are known to work (or
have been kludged to work) with it. Other local mailbox drivers are known
not to work in Cygwin and are specifically excluded. mix was excluded by
default.

Now that I think about it, mix won't/can't work under Cygwin. Cygwin's
Windows-style mandatory locking (as opposed to UNIX-style advisory
locking) is by itself enough to stop mix from working.

So, if you want mix format on Windows, I'll take that as a request to
build a native Windows driver for mix. As I said in another posting, it
is within the realm of possibility.

The conversion process does this automatically, e.g.,
mailutil copy -kw INBOX #driver.mix/INBOX
is the normal command to convert from a traditional UNIX mailbox INBOX to
a mix format INBOX on UNIX systems.
