What was the exact reason to restrict the input for the CYGWIN settings in csih? I don't quite understand why a lot of options are disallowed at all, for instance "winsymlinks", "ntea", etc. IMHO this doesn't make much sense, especially given that Cygwin 1.7 has a quite different set of CYGWIN settings. What I'm planning to do is this: - In cygwin-service-installation-helper.sh I would like to drop the check for the content of CYGWIN entirely. - In ssh-host-config I'd like to set the default for the CYGWIN settings to an empty string. What do you think?
