Hi Corinna, Thanks for showing this to me again, I'd probably let it pass by since Windows 7 wasn't on my screen back then. Fair enough. A couple of hardlinks should then sort out the few cases where I can share a configuration between $HOME and $USERPROFILE when running both a Cygwin and a native Win32 version of the same application. Good speed with the official 1.7!
