I would like to request an uninstaller for cygwin that
removes the registry settings and all. And to remove
related users if users where created. I think an sshd
user was created no?

I would also like to request a restore feature that
sets everything back how it was at a certain point in
time.

Particularly for example when I was having trouble
getting ssh deamon running I removed the directory
cygwin and reinstalled but cygwin registry settings
where still there and so the ssh-host-install script
didn't ask some questions it did on the fresh install.

I had to delete all the registry settings I could find
by hand and then delete the cygwin directory. then
reinstall cygwin.

It would have been nice to just restore somehow.
Instead of a complete removal and reinstall. maybe a
reinstall with a clear option to set all related files
and registry settings back to default? Or just the
option to set the config files and registry settings
back to default.
