I figured maybe somebody else would talk to him.
I do have something sitting in my "postponed" folder on the chance that
I see any further indignation coming from the OP's direction about his
imaginary requirements for how Cygwin should work.

pick on people who are supporters of free software and his lawyer said
it was ok.
