Just to confirm:

The decision is that setup will set CYGWIN=nontsec and it is the 
responsibility of maintainers who need ntsec in postinstall scripts to 
explicitly enable it.

Sounds easy - just add a putenv("CYGWIN=nontsec") in main().

Do I wait a few days to allow the maintainers to check/change their 
postinstalls, or do I release a new setup tonight?


BTW, the permissions on setup.exe on sourceware are such that only you can 
change it.
If accidental, could you fix, so I can release a new setup myself?

Thanks,

Max.
