Ok, I have to take issue with something here. For a few weeks now I've
been skimming the posts about all these ports to cygwin
with NT/95/98/whatever..inetd, etc, etc..
And my question is, WHY? If you want all these unix programs, why not just
use unix?
It's like that scene from "notting hill" (for those who have seen it)
where he offers the girl apricots soaked in honey, but one wonders why you
would soak apricots in honey, because then they would taste like honey,
and if you wanted honey, you'd just buy honey!

ok, i'm done ranting :)
