You welcome from all who participated and glad it helped you out.

This has been discussed many times in the group (very recently in fact) 
and several different ways have been suggested.  If you'll check the 
archive for May 14 for the subject 'Cygwin Updates' you will find DJ's 
response to Kevin Wright on this very topic and some of the ideas which 
have been tossed around.

The problem is not coming up with ideas for changes but more finding the 
volunteers/time to do the work.  The group does accept contributions if 
you would like to give this change a shot and submit it.
