The explanation I saw for the rejection was "...it should just be a wholesale replacement, not a bunch of wrappers around existing functions." It's now a year later. Is there an expectation that the "wholesale replacement" or another solution is coming soon? What would be the harm in adopting the current solution for now? Is this a case of "the perfect is the enemy of the good"? -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
