I would also mention I've had name conflicts with setup.exe
before when I try to install a bunch of things at once.
Even in java where you have packages that should
disambiguate names, it is sometimes useful
to make class names distinct without packages.

Unless there is a sleep aid of other drug called CygwinPM,
there may be little gained from the more verbose form.
I've been using the same cygwin in the AM too, have
I been wrong all this time? LOL.

It also looks like the hippo has an svg file, does this
mimic the ASCII hippo or has it gotten fancy? I just
want to reiterate my support for the ASCII art.
Maybe this does connote obsolete as in  CP/M but that is
a valid point- save the modern computing power
for computing and automated data processing.
This is like the fine corinthian leather
instead of the carbon fibre epoxy composite  LOL.
