It doesn't matter to me either way. My guess is that since nosleep is brand new, people might want some time to try it out and gain confidence that it = works as advertised, before adopting it as a standard utility. A few other considerations: * nosleep currently depends on libargp, which cygutils probably doesn't wan= t to do. That could be worked around by importing the argp source into nosleep,= but I don't know if cygutils wants to increase its size by that much. * Although it's currently only implemented for Cygwin, nosleep has big (wak= ing) dreams of being implemented on other platforms too. So it may not stay a Cygwin-only utility. Not sure if that matters. Andrew.
