Jason,
I thought that you had things working to your satisfaction with the
current code in Cygwin.

If the current situation does work for some people I don't see any
reason to rip it out.  I would like to figure out why it doesn't work
for other people though.

How many failing bug reports have we had?  I haven't really been
paying attention.  Has anyone tried to figure out why things aren't
working right?
