Thank you Pedro.  This is the most ideal solution :)

That's right.  It's sad that I never thought of this before. With this 
suggestion of yours, all doubts will be erased about the true nature of 
Cygwin.  Problems such as not knowing the answer to a clear question will 
eventually disapper from the mailing list and we will all be happier.

Thanks again!
