Bingo.
This is generally obvious advice which goes beyond "vmware". This
concept can also be applied to the people who send email trying to
figure out the fastest way to download cygwin because they have a slow
internet connection or people who ask where to find things in source
code and then wait two days for a reply...
In any event, maybe we can stop talking about this now? Warren, I
appreciate your creative solution to this "problem" and hope you have
provided some fuel for thought for some people who may now be thinking
about testing snapshots. However, I think it's pretty obvious that
we've gone beyond the point where further discussion is relevant to
cygwin.
