What, do I look like an Andy Koppe to you? ;-) For those who do not
follow the lists closely, Andy is the driving force between the
excellent mintty package.  I have always been impressed with his mintty
package and more importantly the support he has provided to the
community.

I would not be adverse to making the scripts part of the distribution.

The biggest hurdle to making it part of the distribution is the
configuration section that most people would want to modify.  I am open
to suggestions to improving that.
