Is there a reason why the Cygwin executables, and certainly the
installer, are not digitally signed by Redhat?

Also, with reference to:

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/cjacks/archive/2009/03/27/manifesting-for-compatibility-on-windows-7.aspx
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd371711%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

Should the Cygwin executables should be manifested so that they cannot
run under any PCA compatibility shim and get the Windows 7
'behaviour'?
