All my testing looks good. I added one comment for you to take a look at.

This will work, since all we build is the Java platform, but I'm not sure that the `isJava()` test is quite right. It suggests that the logic should be skipped for other platforms (i.e., that the entire test and body of the if block is Java platform-specific), which it isn't. I think this should be:

    ... && !(isJava() && isCygwin())
