Thanks for the feedback. Cygwin is a volunteer-run project. If you're
interested in working towards the goal you mentioned above, please send
some email to the cygwin-apps list. That list exists to discuss setup-
related issues and development. As with many such project, resources
are scarce so I'm sure any help you might be willing to provide would
be appreciated.
