It is not inconceivable that someone might not know that something is in the distribution or may be confused about an option in the existing binary. So asking that question is entirely appropriate.

It could save someone a lot of pointless work. cgf -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
