...you mean the <http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#CKOA>? You're talking to 
him :-). See <http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-02/msg02337.html>.

we *really* expect them to know to use STFW? ;-) I would have to say 
that this and TOFU might be deserving of 'one stop shopping' links, even 
if they just point to google with appropriate search terms (perhaps best 
if they do, even).
