Re: Detecting NetworkSimplicity in setup.exe


Perhaps I'm misreading Max's intent but I believe he's suggesting that there
is more to gain by understanding, categorizing, and finding the solution to 
users' problems with Cygwin's OpenSSH installation than in trying to generate
a different, incompatible installation.  Wouldn't at least some of what you've
learned about creating your OpenSSH version based on Cygwin be helpful in 
making the Cygwin installation simpler?  Is there a reason not to pursue this
goal?
