minor bug in cygports 'Terminal' package -- don't install a link for 'terminal->Terminal

[Linda Walsh]

It prevents Terminal from loading when you type Terminal (or terminal).

terminal points to 'Terminal' which doesn't exist -- maybe it needs to point
to Terminal.exe?   But it's not needed for many of us who don't enable
case confusion -- terminal/Terminal being a prime example.  If you have to
remember which case it is -- such that you need to install a link, then
you probably shouldn't be using case.  In which case, you don't need to install
the link.

I.e. -- those who always remember the correct case of everything (including
Terminal -- I do on Linux FWIW, but the link on windows breaks things), and
don't run with case ignored, then the link isn't needed -- as people like me,
on linux -- remember case all the time (*cough*)... well I do with Terminal,
anyway... ;-)...But perl modules and manpages?... thank god suse defaulted
to ignore case in manpages...

Discussion of a Cygwin Ports package should be done on the Cygwin Ports
mailing list.

There's a separate cygports mailing list?

Fortunately we aren't discussing it...I just announced the problem...

Too bad we aren't a community.

Of course.  It's a separate (though very closely related) effort.  See
the mailing lists for Cygwin Ports at the link below.

But you're announcing it in the wrong place.  Take it to the Cygwin Ports
list so that your announcement isn't missed by others looking there.
