Sorry, this is just plain wrong.  I use that option, and obviously you
care about it.  I'm sure there are other examples.

If it were a major issue, lots of people would be working on it
because it would effect lots of people.  Since they aren't, I can only
assume that it's only a minor issue, or at least an issue with only
minor impact.  Or perhaps they *are* working on it, but haven't taken
the time to tell you their status.

Cygwin is not Red Hat.  *Cygnus* is now Red Hat.  Don't confuse the
two.  Support for non-cygwin apps has *always* been managed by people
*outside* of Cygnus, and will continue to be that way.  Why don't
*you* fix the problem?

We're not dropping it.  We're just too busy to deal with it.  Anyone
else is just as able to support it as we are, so don't blame us if it
doesn't work.  Blame yourself for not taking the initiative.
