Re: Eliminating -mno-cygwin from gcc.

The discussion has been to augment 'setup.exe' in a way as to provide users

"Important" would be defined by the maintainer by some mechanism.
Presumably, every release of package 'foo' does not trigger the "important"
flag. ;-)

Hmm, there might be a catch-22 here. How do we force people to update their setup.exe?


(What about a change that does not affect setup.exe itself? Maybe a package that most things depend on that allows a post-install script to display a dialog? Or was that the plan already?)
