::sigh:: I should know better than to try to get fancy. ;)  You were
right the first time!  I attribute it to replying to a German and thus
getting into the "sch" mode.

Thanks for the kind words, and I hope we have a final resolution from
Chris/Corinna soon.

Translation: Should there be a [no]right_alt_meta CYGWIN= option?

If so, I would be glad to submit a patch with that functionality (I
think I have it lying around here somewhere...).

If not, should the keyboard language vs. META translation code be
removed (i.e. revert to 1.1.8 keystroke interpreter)?  I could patch
that as well.
