"cygferrari"? ;-)
Seriously, though... "cygprogopts"? "cygoverride"? Come to think of it,
"cygoptions" works pretty well, especially if we plan to add other
functionality, such as setting heap_chunk_in_mb & co. Are there other
(undocumented) options that need this kind of control? Do we want them
all controlled from one script, or from a set of scripts? Would it make
sense for the script to act based on a name through which it was invoked,
as well as command line parameters (and provide symlinks with these
names)?
Also, should this script be in /usr/sbin instead?
