And your proposal has been heard. Also other options have been 
discussed. No one but you is talking about continuing forever with the 
exact same technologies. But none of the options can be accomplished 
with a snap of the finger. And continuing to complain and whine after 
the discussion of what you seem to think is a problem will rarely 
accomplish anything useful. Still, if it makes you feel better, by all 
means continue, but I suspect that this thread is about to be locked 
down, as it does not appear to serve any useful purpose at this point.

I'm not in a glass house, and I'll throw all the rocks I want, thank you 
very much. I never said I had difficulty submitting a patch. I'm sure it 
would be very easy to do. But my needs are general enough that I rarely 
run into problems that haven't already been discussed here. I think I 
have discovered one problem with file and path handling, but I haven't 
had a chance to check to see if it's my problem or Cygwin's. In fact, it 
may be another incarnation of a problem that's been discussed here a few 
times. However, IF I verify that it is a Cygwin problem, and not mine, 
and not a known one, I will likely use CVS and attempt to track down the 
problem and submit a patch. I'm betting it won't be nearly as hard as 
you seem to think.

So, again, pardon me if I'm not moved to tears by your difficulties.
