I'd love to, but I suspect I don't have the time to do a good job. I'm struggling to answer all setup.exe related questions at the moment. Also, I think the issue is needing the binutils w32 maintainer, not a cygwin port maintainer, and frankly, I've no idea what sort of time commitment that entails. If someone (perhaps DJ) can clarify that I'll consider stepping up for that maintainership - on the basis of someone being better than no-one, even if I'm a bit slow on response for them. Rob
