But that would get ironed out in the review process for package 
distribution.  However, if someone tries the cygserver and decides to 
later not use it, then there is environment mess creap. The package 
would need to report errors based on ENOSYS for dependent functions and 
fail gracefully, but that again can be controlled in the review process.
