That would be cool. My preference would be for build instructions in only one place, I guess that would mean that they should be in the FAQ since that is the most visible place. So, I'd like the README to basically just have a URL for the cygwin web site. And, this README should not be installed. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
