a: I already tried to do that*.
b: You just CC'd the main list. :-)
c: You almost made me do (b) as well!
Next time, you might want to reply with 'please TITTTL' and 'reply-to:'
set appropriately, to avoid (b) and (c). :-)
(* Actually, I had /also/ sent another reply with reply-to: cygwin-talk
that seems to have gone to /dev/null... but oh well; after CGF's post it
wasn't really adding anything anyway.)
