No offense taken.

I've read both of your 2 messages to cygwin at cygwin.com and the one you 
sent to cygwin-apps at cygwin.com. I replied to all of them, in their 
respective mailing list:

http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-02/msg00408.html
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-02/msg00409.html
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2005-02/msg00024.html

What Larry meant is that if you find a packaging error in the OpenGL 
package, that is, if the package does not respect the layout required for 
Cygwin's packages, you should report it to the cygwin-apps list. If you have 
any other sort of trouble with the OpenGL package, report it to the main 
cygwin list.

This is really surprising. If you are subscribed to the list, you should 
receive all messages sent to it. If not, you should inquire with the list 
manager. If your email connection with Cygwin's lists is unreliable, I 
suggest that you add the following line to messages you send to the lists:

"Please CC your response to this message directly to my address."

I never reply directly to people sending messages to lists, unless they 
require it explicitely.

Yes.

The "solution" to your problem was in my reply to your original message to 
the cygwin list:

http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-02/msg00408.html

Regarding tessallation and Cygwin, the tess.c sample program about which you 
wrote to me last year works reliably on Cygwin. Your new program doesn't, 
but as outlined in message msg00408, it is because of a programming error. 
Please try the suggestions in that message, and if you have other problems 
that are specific to OpenGL under Cygwin, write about it to the cygwin list.
