#I have used cygwin since the release of B20.1 and I think it is a very 
useful
#software. I really appreciate the hard work of every developer.
#It is a pity that sometimes some "unwelcomed suggestions" come from 
nowhere,
#but isn't it lonely if you got no response after each release of the 
software:)
