Was it the dearly lamented Cygwin CD that I fought tooth and nail to have
Cygnus release?  That experience will be in my memoirs some day...

I was supposedly in charge of the project but I'd get email telling me
that a meeting had been held and everyone had decided not to include
"perl" in the distribution.

Good times...
