     This sounds like a great idea!  
     
     I'd add:  How about writing some HOWTOs?  (I'd volunteer for writing, 
     but I don't know how to do anything much, just yet.)

I think that's a really great idea. Perhaps we could merge this 
approach with the tendencies to build rpm-packages for cygwin32 and 
have a installation program like linux-distributions?
