Chris was referring to the fact that, in addition to placing the test
release stand-alone files (e.g., XWin-Test58.exe.bz2) on my msu.edu site and
distributing them via the sources.redhat.com network, I have also been
placing a modified XFree86-xserv-4.2.0-?.tar.bz2 for Cygwin's setup.exe in
cygwin/xfree/release/XFree86/XFree86-xserv/.  Chris was saying that instead
of telling users to point setup.exe to that other directory I could just put
the test package in the normal directory and mark it as 'test' in
setup.hint.

Hope that clears things up,

Harold
