  Absolutely.  It should look for cygwin services as well.  I was thinking
of having a go at it in the next week or two.  I was also wondering whether
really it shouldn't be part of setup.exe (which I think came up in
discussion on -apps recently, but I wasn't following closely - have to go
check the archives).
