Nobody care. Really. Noone going to recheck your answers to see is they are
relevant to the current Cygwin realities. Which is a part of issue.
Cygwin is evolving, and answers found all around the internet, copypasted for
years without even little thinking, are going to be useless (at best!) at one
point in future. At worst, they would be disastrous.
The only place where you can get actual (as in "relevant to the current state
of the project") support is this mailing list. Or cygwin-xfree, if your
question is X-relevant.

No offence intended. Just a point.
