I don't want to issue a warning on a setting that is likely to succeed
in some cases. How about this instead of what I had - it deals with the
most likely problem case?:

# ----------
# warn of cygwin likely failure
# if maxconnections = 0
# and we are running parallel tests
# ----------

case $host_platform in *-*-cygwin*)
case "$schedule" in *parallel*)
if [ $maxconnections -eq 0 ] ; then
echo using unlimited parallel connections is likely to fail or
hang on cygwin
echo try \"$me --max-connections=n\" or \"gmake MAX_CONNECTIONS=n
check\"
echo with n = 5 or 10 if this happens
echo
fi
