I've just been thinking the same thing about the gold star page... it's full of
nasty <font> tags and only shows information about the latest gold star.  It's
also hard to maintain because of the way it's laid out, but that's sort of a
separate issue.

can't offer anything better.  I think the Cygwin logo should stay lying down.

Thanks for your efforts.
Andrew.
