Actually, just before I got your e-mail, Chuck Wilson offered to put
them on sourceware; he mentioned that you'd be on vacation, and I was
trying to avoid taking up your time before you left.  I know how tough
it can be to "escape" from the office right before vacation :-)

OK, I'll keep in this mind for any future releases.  Then again, the
release I just made is perfect, no bugs to be found, so I'll never
have to release it again ;-)

I'll be posting an announcement on cygwin-announce tomorrow (too tired
tonight.)

Good for you!  Make sure you leave the cell phone, pager, and Palm
Pilot behind...

I think I'll try Chuck's approach, hoping it might preempt a flood of
questions...

Thanks so much for your help, and have a good time on your vacation!
