Hello again,
I think it would be a real neat idea to modify the rm.exe so that
rm file.xxx
utility is actually
mv file.xxx c:/cygwin/tmp

Also, whenever rm is invoked it would check the current date and the date of all
the files in the c:/cygwin/tmp directory.  If all the files have yesterday's date
or earlier, it would delete that whole c:/cygwin/tmp directory.  That way, any
deleted files would be saved for at least a day.
