But in order to set this flag without problems cropping up, you must
satisfy:

* The application does not run as a system service (that is, LUID=System).

This probably isn't an issue for cygwin-1.7 and beyond, given the
changes in how services are installed. (Dang, I need to release an
updated csih...)

* The application does not write to the HKEY Local Machine registry hive
for user specific data or configuration.

Hmm.  regtool? /proc/registry?

Either way, you lose. If we go one way, then you can't use regtool or
/proc/registry to manipulate the virtualized registry entries, if you're
trying to fix something related to a non-TS (windows) app. If we go the
other way, then you can't use regtool or /proc/registry to manipulate
the "real" non-virtualized registry.

Ditto for virtualized vs. non-virtualized /Program\ Files, /Windows, etc.

THERE's the reason to keep an old cygwin-1.5 installation laying around! <g>

"/TSAWARE is not valid for drivers, VxDs, or DLLs. "

Yep, need to fix aslr.exe to not do that.

Also, I think I might use aslr to set the flag on my copy of NotePad++.
I hate having to install the syntax colorizer plugins into both my and
admin's virtualized Program Files directory...for every update...
