I am a unix user that has moved to windows.  I want unix commands on windows
that function like their unix counterparts.  That is supposed to be one of
cygwin's missions, is it not?  Isn't that one of the main reasons people get
cygwin?  What's the point of providing these commands otherwise?

Why the apparent objection to offering the options to the CYGWIN (or some
other) environment variable where users can control the behavior of these
commands globally on their system?  If you won't change the default behavior
because of your religious beliefs, fine, but can you at least allow us to
change the default behavior on our systems that does not involve changing
scripts or typing habits?  Please?

-Don
