I don't know about anyone else, but I haven't chimed in because I don't
know enough about the issue to have an intelligent opinion.  I think the
problem is that the already limited universe of cygwin contributors
becomes very tiny when those ignorant of NLS/char-encoding issues are
self-excluded. Sorry.

I've just been hoping that those of you who DO know enough about this
issue can reach a mutually satisfactory compromise/solution.
