Wrong. It's mine. Ben probably never builds 21.4 at all these days.
I simply applied your patches, as we agreed. I was not aware that
your 21.4 workspace varied from canonical in that way. How could I
be?
And I don't build under Windows at the moment. The box that used to
be my Windows test bed now serves the CVS repository. I'll be
reinstalling Cygwin and VC++ elsewhere, but it's no longer critical
that release-21-4 build on Windows as windows-21-4 is now canonical
for that platform.

I disagree. The cast is primarily for Mule-aware people reading the
code.
This difference of philosophy and goals is why I rather doubt there
will be a merge of release-21-4 and windows-21-4.
Once again, I don't disagree with your decision to vary from the main
line code that way---Windows is your domain, after all, I'm no expert
---but I certainly resist that kind of change in the Unix line.
