Fine.  I'll apply a patch at one point today.

Yeah, I still have the patch I sent once here in my local CVS copy.  How
should we fix that?  The problem was about what to do if the --yes
option has been given on the command line, right?  My patch reverts the
meaning of the request and you said this breaks postinstall scripts.  I
just read your reply from 2008-12-09 again(*).  What strucks me as weird
is the fact that any postinstall script would ask for a user account at
all.  No postinstall script should ever try to install a Windows service
automatically, IMHO.  Assuming that's true, is the aforementioned
account problem a postinstall problem at all?

It's not that pressing, IMHO.

I don't think so.  CSIH already knows about cygwin 1.7 and can act
differently.  At one point you can simply stop supporting 1.5 in new
versions of csih and that's that.
