Well, is there any cygwin-list to talk about this?

I'm sorry, but this is not true: I only want to give comunity a "base
package" of something that I already have.

At least on my opinion, as an administrator, has very sense to have a
"bash windows" in a "nerd-msi" installable form.

But if you don't agree, don't mind: I can upload my next BGINFO4X
release without creating any "AdminCygwin release".

There is no problem, but I thought that it could be useful to others.

I'm sorry again, but If I understand you (not 100% sure), I don't want
to be recognized.

Thanks a lot for your time.
