Yeah. I told them `it doesn't need support' but they didn't believe me,
so I told them `I'll support it, no extra charge'. They were happy
with that (no extra work for them :) ).

Oddly enough there have been very few `support' requests; mostly
it's problems understanding Cygwin's... unusual setup program.
