Thanks for the feedback.  Cygwin is a volunteer-run project.  If you're
interested in working towards the goal you mentioned above, please send
some email to the cygwin-apps list.  That list exists to discuss setup-
related issues and development.  As with many such project, resources
are scarce so I'm sure any help you might be willing to provide would
be appreciated.
