One question: Usually the popup menu itself reflects the current choice.
So, wouldn't it make more sense to have the text "View" just as plain
text to the left, and the actual popup menu next right to it, showing
the current choice?  Yes?  No?  Shut up?

Yeah, there is probably better visual language to be used here.

If the popup menu itself reflects the current choice, perhaps we don't
need a caption with the current choice at all (i.e. just a button that
says "View" and that's all...)

I'd really like that button to have a '▾' to indicate it has a
drop-down, but that seems hard to achieve.

(This might be done with the BS_SPLITBUTTON style (which combines a
button and dropdown menu), but that is sadly only supported by common
controls on Vista or later.)

We're dropping Cygwin support for XP anyway, so why not from the installer as well?
