Please forgive me all, my mistake to write to the mailing list alias instead
of Christopher directly. Also forgive me for bringing up a way off-topic to

Let me shot a different question: Are there plans to make Cygwin a windows

I truly like Cygwin, I'm sorry If I bothered the list.
Thanks a lot,
Alex
