Thanks!  I never cease to be amazed at the wonders of cygport.

Yes, it does help.  I haven't completely figured out how to configure my 
system so that xdg-open will do everything I want, but I've figured out 
enough to know that it's do-able.

On the subject of xdg-utils, you originally made it a dependency of 
asymptote (which would have required moving it to the distro).  What 
made you change your mind?  Are there problems with xdg-utils that are 
keeping you from moving it to the distro?  I'd be glad to help in any 
way I can.
