What is this "learn" thing of which you speak?  Why can't this be more
like a toaster?

I only had to burn myself half a dozen times before I convinced myself
that I didn't like toast.  Why can't cygwin be more like that?  Why does
it take so long to find that you really don't want to use cygwin after
all?
