   I have a feeling that
   most of Cygnus' customers are likely to be government contractors.

Not so.  Our customers come from every walk of life - we have users
developing everything from consumer products such as video games to
network boxes of various sorts, chip vendors who want compilers they
can ship with their eval boards, 1- and 2-person startups that don't
want to spend their time playing sysadmin, and giants of the industry
that want to use the same tools on dozens of platforms.

Government contractors can get reimbursed by us the taxpayers for
buying expensive compilers from Intermetrics and Tartan.
