[Trilinos-Users] MOOCHO installation

[Bill Spotz]

JP,

For release 8 due in August, I plan to try to get Cygwin and possibly  
Windows to produce shared libraries.

I hadn't had any plans for MOOCHO, but in all honesty, barring  
something unforeseen, it shouldn't be that hard to do (for MOOCHO or  
any other package).  I'll take it under consideration.
