Actually that's not what I said. You jumped to a conclusion based on an
admittedly sketchy description of my use case. But it's an obscure use
case anyway, and I'm not interested in pursuing it.
I'm currently working on a patch that implements my suggestion (query
the user). I expect to send it to cygwin-apps within the next day or so.
