Introduction
The Evil library is an evil library that ports some evil Unix functions to the Windows (XP or above, or Mobile) platform. The evilness is so huge that the most of the functions are not POSIX or BSD compliant.
These functions are intended to be used in the Enlightenment Foundation Libraries only and can be compiled only on Windows, using MSYS/MinGW on Windows, and cross-compilation on Unix. This library is minimal in the sense that only the functions needed to compile the EFL are available. The purpose of this library is NOT to have a full POSIX emulation et it is NOT a replacement of cygwin. To compare the size of the DLL themselves, Evil is around 33 KB and cygwin DLL is around 800 KB.
