Ya know - I'd like to see a slightly different (more useful packaging) =
selected as default for the setup.exe .

Many people come along asking - where can I get a free c++ compiler for =
windows (or specifically GCC compiler for windows) so natuarlly I refer =
them to sources.redhat.com/cygwin, and then spend the next hour telling =
them they need to select GCC, Binutils, win32api, mingw32 in addtion to =
the things selected... should be able to download setup, go next, next =
next next next, double click cygwin... run gcc, make and have it be able =
to build both windows apps (-mno-cygwin) and cygwin unix-emulation apps. =
 supporting as much as is needed for your baseic ./confugre, make is not =
really neccesary - mostly it's students who use GCC at their school, and =
would like to work on homework.

If this is not the appropriate place to send this, can someone please =
forward this? =20

Jim
