I appreciate your response. This helps. It may not appear that I've done my
research, but as an open source developer (and project coordinator) for many
years, I understand the right way to seek help. I've been looking for days
via various google searches, and asking other developers for help. I
searched the cygwin mailing list archives, and checked the cygwin FAQ
("Known problems ..."). Even though this is not a real cygwin problem, if
this question gets asked so often, it might be worth adding a response in
the FAQ.

Thanks,

Jon
