On the other hand, you'd need something like mingw for OS/2 - does such a beast exist?

The substring "emx" refers to an OS/2 version of gcc and libraries that make OS/2 look really like Unix from the programmer's point of view. (It probably even pre-dates cygwin.) I have two encouraging stories to tell. First, for a school assignment, I wrote an OpenGL program on emx, then ported it to school's Solaris+Mesa ten minutes before the deadline --- where porting meant removing "#include ". Second, I wrote a program that used tcpip sockets on Unix, then merely recompiled it on emx to use it on OS/2 as well.
