Before someone suggests adding a google link to the cygwin site, let me reveal that I had the idea to do that last year but the collected wisdom of the people who, with me, run sources.redhat.com was that we shouldn't be using the non-free google software for our searches. So, the idea was vetoed. I'm trying to convince myself that I have the power to do this just for cygwin but I'm still getting stuck on that 'non-free' thing. At some point pragmatism may win out over zealotry, though. cgf -- Please use the resources at cygwin.com rather than sending personal email.
