Hi David,

Perhaps.  It's an esoteric one.  The original poster of this question wanted
to know if Cygwin 1.3.2 would work with Win2000.  I replied with the FAQ 
entry that says Cygwin works with 9x/Me/NT/W2K/XP.  The reply I got back 
from the poster then was that he had seen this entry but thought it 
referenced only the current Cygwin DLL (1.3.9 at that point).  So the only
question I was raising was whether you think it would be more or less 
confusing to people to add some wording to the FAQ entry that specifies
that any recent Cygwin DLL works with Windows, not just the latest.
It's not clear to me that this additional wording wouldn't raise more 
questions than it answers.  Judging by your response, I think leaving things
as is may be the best option.  What do you think?
