Yep -- except that there's really no need. That page, for all intents and purposes, is dead. Okay, it's not entirely dead yet -- merely moribund. For a number of reasons: 1) Most everything that USED to be there is now in the official dist anyway (*** double standard alert...see below ***) 2) Of the remaining stuff, only cygipc, "cygutils(the package)" and the auto*wrapper packages are "current" -- I'm pretty sure most of the other stuff has suffered a lot of bitrot. (*** double standard alert ***) why push "my" packages into the dist, and not JASSP Emacs? (a) most of "my" packages are fairly core -- libraries and such. Do you really want to go to an external site for ncurses? zlib? readline? cvs? (b) "my" packages are all open source/gnu with no commercial restrictions -- JASSP Emacs is not. (Actually, JASSP Emac's status may be changing; this is perhaps an outdated objection) But I'm not really arguing AGAINST including JASSP Emacs -- I'm just pointing out what will soon be possible, for JASSP Emacs AND CygUtils AND Bob's Big Package of FunNGames and whatnot. --Chuck
