I think the problem is "sample bias". Most of the cygwin maintainers 
seem (to me) to be mostly focused on "getting unix stuff that I like to 
work on the bass-ackward platform called Windows".

I spend most of my "cygwin" time in a bash shell.  I've got oodles of 
scripts to automate things.  And I use either vi or xemacs to edit.

The only time I double-click something is (a) when I'm not "cygwinning" 
-- e.g. I'm using "regular windows" apps, or (b) cygwin setup.exe (c) my 
shortcuts to rxvt and the xserver.  I don't use chere.

So IMO *this audience* isn't very interested in 
[chere|weft|other-windows-integration].  That doesn't mean that the 
universe of cygwin users who are NOT maintainers have similar biases.

I'll try to review your package this weekend, and will report back here.
