Well, since you asked (indirectly), I'll give my opinion: There have been several instances when I wanted to try to fix some part of Cygwin myself. The biggest problem I have is my extreme laziness. I wish I could just download the 'src' package, configure, make. Could the w32api source be bundled into the source package so we(the royal we) don't have to download some arbitrary version of w32api, and then do some renaming and moving? -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
