While I agree having the cases reversed from what is typical feels "off", looking at the package doc, those look to be the package's choices upstream of us, and so effectively out of our control. Cygwin strives to be as accurate to how things work in Linux as is reasonably possible, and so making Cygwin specific changes to what any given package uses for its cli options when not absolutely necessary would go directly against that goal. Such a request should be addressed to the upstream package maintainers. -- Erik -- "I do not think any of us are truly sane, Caleb. Not even you. Courage is not sanity.
