Was this due to cygwin or zsh changes, or both?

Do you want to make a zsh available on cygwin.com?  I'll set you up with
an account so that you can upload copies, there, if so.

I'm glad to hear that.

Can you give an example of some of the clever ideas in uwin?  I know that
they have some sort of setuid daemon or something like that but it has been
a while since I really investigated U/WIN.

Since I have to come up with a roadmap for Cygwin at some point, it might be
nice to know where another product has gone so that I could shamelessly steal
some ideas.

I thought that it was interesting that David Korn said that U/WIN may soon be
open sourced.
