Ah.  Cygwin B20.1.  Man, those were the days.  Cygwin was practically 
perfect in every way, bugfree, and featureful.  It even made coffee!

I miss B20. <sniff>

'Course, apparently the guy who started this thread misses B20 too -- 
those were the days of a single monolithic cygwin release with a single 
version number.  If it wasn't in the full.exe installer, it wasn't 
available (not that you'd want anything else once you tasted your first 
cup of B20 coffee!) -- unless you went to disreputable third party sites 
like cygutils.  :-)

(Speaking of cygutils, Peter, be sure to read the private email I just 
sent you)
