Yeah, this is one of the coolest things to show up in cygwin-apps in a
while. I don't have time to play with it now but I can't wait to start
bragging about this capability. :-)
I agree that this is one of those packages that should be as simple as
possible to install so if we can get something like Corinna's scripts that
probably is a good thing. I guess this means that my previous enthusiastic
"Let's just ship it!" should be tempered by a "Let's make sure that it is
easy to install". I suspect that this means we delay while we get the
usual (&(*& Windows 9x stuff worked out.
