One way to help all those people and minimize the number of such queries
is to contribute DDD as a Cygwin package and volunteer to maintain it, so
that it can be installed using Cygwin setup.  See the Package
Contributor's Guide at <http://cygwin.com/setup.html> for information on
how to become a package maintainer -- it's easier than most people
realize.
