If you are actually capable of making it happen then prove it by discussing implementation in cygwin-developers and eventually providing a patch in cygwin-patches. Otherwise, take Earnie's observation to heart: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2012-08/msg00257.html (I'm going to be quoting this a lot) You aren't making any points by posting YA vague suggestion. cgf -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
