I was planning on creating an "emotion subsystem" for Cygwin, kind of like
the emotion chip that was created for Data on "Star Trek - The Next 
Generation."  Hopefully this will let everyone configure Cygwin's emotions
to "like" any software they choose to run.  I'll announce a beta on this 
list when its available.

You'll have to put up with Cygwin's moodiness in the meantime...
