Understood. My first thought was to have a GUI installer. I changed this at
Chris' request.

I am not a bash expert. I agree this would be better than having settings
in the batch file itself. I know local settings go in $HOME/.bashrc and
when bash is called with --login global settings are read from /etc/profile,
but where do the global settings go when bash is called without --login?
BTW, after we get the installer into CVS any help would be very welcome. I
have a couple of things I have to do before the source can be committed to
CVS. Until then, if anyone is interested they could work on a wininet.h for
MinGW. Right now setup must be built with MSVC because that header does not
exist in cygwin and I have not had the time to write one yet. It was on the
list after the installer was whipped into shape for this release.
