For MinGW or MSVC with POSIX library functions that ultimately calls
the Windows API, I don't see the distinction. It's just a library
that provides an interface. It doesn't somehow change the fact that
the program runs on a Windows system. If I write my own (not POSIX)
wrappers around the Windows API that provide a convenient interface to
me, and then avoid using the Windows API directly, does that somehow
make my program not a native Windows program?
In the case of Cygwin, I do see a difference, because Cygwin programs
assume that the view of the filesystem is POSIX (/cygdrive/c/foo/bar),
not Windows (C:/foo/bar). So if these things are exposed users
notice a difference when they can't open files using the names they
are familiar with.
