What do you call if I use a cygwin environment for development and testing ?
Such environments should be separated from production environments where
Openshh/rsync could be used as elements. That's my point !!!

I can only say that there are (should be!!) other ways to do the same thing.
In addition, as I wrote in my previous post, the best solution would be to use 
a cygwin setup, which allows several separated environments. Platform
virtualization is a hot topic nowadays. Why can't cygwin also offer that 
functionality?

Sorry, I don't agree with you. Maybe, I fix some problems which have low
priority in your list. When it comes to workarounds, they will always exist.

Confusing people ? How can I do that with developing an installer installing
a fully operational openssh server and make it ready for use within one minute?
Disturbing your forums happened only once during the copssh lifetime. BTW,
The full blown cygwin installation had the same problem.

I've just tried to express a need. I feel that I don't deserve your comments above.

Both Copssh and Cwrsync are free software. As of december 2005, they are being
downloaded ca. 300 times daily and I get many mails from users expressing their 
appreciations. What's the right thing to do ? To continue with this effort? To express
a growing demand and a possible solution to cygwin developers ? I did it both !!!!
