Do you think it would be desirable to have cygwin not encumber itself
with character/filename validity, but instead let it be processed by the
underlying subsystem (or pseudo subsystem, in this case). Thanks for
the MLADP.

Yeah, but the point of have the registry be like a file system
(or process info be like a file system) is to allow easy access and
manipulation with the normal gnu text utils. Ran into the problems
using "find"...
gotta figure out how to get cvs to work through a proxy and, maybe
better, set up a cross development environment on linux. I lost the
last simple set of instructions I had to build the setup command...sigh.
I think for the proxy bit, I seem to remember having to use a sockified
CVS...
Maybe eventually will it move to my "start-do list" :-).

the computer industry, what protects consumers (other than vendor
good will that seems to diminish inversely to their size)?
