The fact that this is useful is really irrelevant. There are all sorts
of useful off-topic tidbits that could be posted to the cygwin mailing
list. The issue, as always, is remaining on-topic and making sure that
this list adheres to its core focus. This isn't a mailing list devoted
to various unix packages for windows. It is a mailing list for the
cygwin unix application for windows.
I have no problem with some minor chatter, along the lines of general
discussions about shell programming that crop up from time to time. I
just don't want it to get out of hand.
