I know that I, of all people, shouldn't be encouraging this type of
thing but I actually found the discussion interesting.  But, you're
right, and Andrew even acknowledged that the discussion had strayed
and should be taken elsewhere.

But, if anyone wants to continue the philosophy, I'll grant a TITTL
waiver.

Or, we could even call this whole discussion closed since it seems to
have nothing to do with Cygwin and even the non-philosophical part seems
to have been beaten to death.
