Another way to look at this is that this project and this mailing list have been around for many years so it's likely that this subject has been discussed many times and a simple "please change the list to fit my needs" request doesn't make much sense in this context. 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/
