^^^^^^^^
Because this build uses a native Windows toolchain and the native Windows
does not understand Cygwin/POSIX paths, the NuttX make sysem does something
weird: It copies the configuration directories instead of simply linking
to them (it could, perhaps, use the NTFS mklink command, but it doesn't).
tools do not understand Cygwin's symbolic links, the NuttX make system does

A consequence of this is that you can easily get confused and get editting
a file in one of the linked directories, re-build, and not see your changes.
To work around this annoying behavior, I also do the following when I make:
A consequence of this is that you can easily get confused when you edit
a file in one of the "linked" directories, re-build NuttX, and then not see your
changes when you run the program. That is because build is still using the
version of the file in the copied directory, not your modified file! To work
around this annoying behavior, do the following when you re-build:
make clean_context all <-- Remove and re-copy all of the directories, then make all
doisp.sh <-- Load the code onto the board.
