<DIV>Jay, </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I agree with Tony. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>From my point of view, you are "breaking" the normal Windows install in order to rectify a problem for Cygwin. I put "breaking" in quotes because the install will appear to work, but the serial package will be silently omitted.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It may not be a "big deal" to you, but it presents another hurdle for those who want to install on Windows, and this hurdle is probably not documented yet.</DIV>

<DIV>I would have thought of CygWin as a POSIX platform that just happens to have Windows underneath. Did we go round this roundabout before?</DIV>

<DIV>Why are we skipping serial package? I use serial I/O on Windows. If you need my sources, let me know and I'll supply.</DIV>
