I appreciate your appreciation, but I didn't create the project.
It predates my activities by at least two years. The project was
created by a former Cygnus employee, Steve Chamberlain. It was
sheparded along by various other ex-Cygnus employees like Jason
Molenda, Jeremy Allison, and most notably, Geoffrey Noer.
I started working on Cygwin for Cygnus in April of 1998 after having
been a net contributor for about a year. DJ Delorie joined in July
1998. I became manager of the Cygwin project in 1998. Geoff left
the project sometime in early 1999, and Corinna joined Red Hat
on April 1, 2000 after also being a prolific net contributor.
DJ has recently moved into the GCC group but Corinna and I remain.
Cygwin is, of course, also supported by a number of selfless external
contributors who don't get paid to work on it (not that I actually
get paid to do any programming, but that's another issue...).

This is addressed to me, but I know very little about rshd. It's
not my area of expertise. Maybe someone else here in the cygwin
mailing list can help.
