OK thats fine, just a minor point: there is one Cygwin problem that this 
solves, which is that people keep on requesting this kind of thing on

Also its constructed from the same source code as cygwin/X so its 
arguably the same thing.
But anyway we'll happy carry on discussion on a different list
