| Jari,
|
| All bugs should be sent to the cygwin@ or cygwin-xfree@ list, not the
| maintainer. Let's keep the dialog open.
Sure. The program now includes that by default in addition to
sending note to maintainer.

| to send email. These sort of design discussions may belong on
| cygwin@. Besides, there is currently a ITP moratorium ("suspension
| of an ongoing activity").
Now implemented. Emacs is no more required, but it is the preferred
interface, because th GUI features, like package completion and
other advanced features are there.
I'll announce new version in separate mail.
Jari
