Downloading pieces of Cygwin for non-installers

Quite a few Cygwin programs (and programs developed using Cygwin compilers) can be run without Cygwin. Almost always one needs Cygwin1.dll in one's path and perhaps some other DLL's. Some people use a lot of different computers not theirs (e.g. repairmen, consultants) and carry around a memory sti

Rsync and the two latest snapshots

Hi, the two latest Cygwin snapshots generate errors with rsync (2.6.9). The good news is that enumerating/scanning the files on the source side goes much faster than with all the snapshots until 17/7. But the actual copying fails (partially?) with something like "skipping everything under /foo
