Alexey Sokolov bf45e12fb6 Mention 64-bit Cygwin as another remedy for fork() failures. 2016-03-04 22:02:35 +01:00
David Macek 6de53a3516 Add MacType to BLODA
One more patch. MacType was observed by several users to cause `GPGME:
Invalid crypto engine` failures in MSYS2. See
<https://github.com/Alexpux/MSYS2-packages/issues/393>.

I also removed two full stops in the sake of consistency.

	* faq-using.xml: Add MacType to the BLODA.  Fix formatting.

David Macek 76b5c03bd7 Add Forefront TMG to the BLODA
A user of MSYS2 had non-deterministic segfaults when running simple
command from bash started from cmd. We've isolated the cause to
`C:\Program Files (x86)\Forefront TMG Client\FwcWsp64.dll`. See
<http://sourceforge.net/p/msys2/tickets/212/> for a little more
information.

It seems enough to include the software in BLODA, but if not, sorry for
the unsolicited patch and let's discuss.

	* faq-using.xml: Add Forefront TMG to the BLODA
