Brian,

Just a couple of comments on the Google searches:

1) Unfortunately, Google caches some messages from cygwin.com, and others
   from sources.redhat.com, so you have to search in both to make sure you
   get all possible matches.

2) The "inurl:" modifier is not aware of forward slashes, and accepts
   partial matches, so a query with "inurl:ml inurl:cygwin" will search
   for messages on *all* of the Cygwin lists (i.e., cygwin@, cygwin-apps@,
   etc).  AFAIK, there is no way to restrict the matches to just the
   cygwin@ list.  The "inurl:cygwin-apps" does work, however.

	Igor
