"WE" wouldn't need a windows UI for sure.

But users out there will ask... esp. when there are two existing UI 
interfaces.
The one in contrib, which has missing headers, no makefile, but an exe 
for a mysterious debugging RT dll. he promised me to improve.
And then the pythonwin stuff from www.clamwin.net, which is based on 
cygwin. (they do have the cygwin src there)
this UI looks frightening. 
http://www.clamwin.net/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=9&Itemid=34

And note how many people sponsered clamwin: 
http://sf.net/projects/clamwin (6)
and how many clamav: http://sf.net/projects/clamav (0).
That's why I wrote a little bit of blurb about the UI. Nothing more.

OT: What about the idea a small cygserver taskbar icon?
It could display some unuseful status information about the current 
cygwin services, blabla. :)
