There is another aphorism that trumps all of this: "Someone has to do it". I seem to not be making it clear that it is very unlikely that a cygwin site maintainer (me) and a setup.exe developer (to a small degree me + others) are all avidly reading these musings and looking for things to do. Cygwin, like most free software projects, has always been short on doers and long on "experts with not enough time". So, pontificate all you want about the best ways to do things but please understand that it's likely that nothing you say will have any effect on the project unless you are interested in helping out yourself. cgf -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
