Wow.
I sure am glad that I was out of town, throwing a party, and replacing the
power steering pump in my Jeep this weekend while you guys slugged this one
out.
The end result is that I have a couple of scripts to look at and evaluate.
Right now I am still trying to get that scrollbars patch rel

Yeah right, like modifying setup.exe for the XWin shortcut? ;)

Because it's more flexible. We don't limit ourself to predefined

XWin will to. Tomorrow, SSH will want to. And rxvt. And csh...

I forgot to attach the "X.ico" file. It's not the best in the world but
I guess it will do (it's the same I sent you with the systray patch a

they don't attempt to assign CYGWIN_ROOT if it already has a value.
