I found pertty frustrating to have to reboot my system when simply 
remember to close all cygwni apps wuold have done the same effect (in 
fact I HATE to reboot my system ^_^)... couln't we change that pref from 
"automatically request reboot" to "give choice between freeing file xxxx 
or updating it after reboot"?
Maybe only with a command-line options so that normal users don't get 
frustrated by a "difficult new question" (yes I just read Joel's article 
on GUI usability =P)

I don't exclude to provide a patch for this myself, but right now I have 
not the time... Robert can you add it to the "to do list", if yuo and 
others agree that could be an useful feature?

Thanks ^_^
