Re: popularity-contest for Cygwin?

We already have such a tool.  It's called "cygcheck".  When people post
their cygcheck output to the list, it also contains the list of packages
they installed.

But not what they are *using*, which seems to be the big thing in popularity-contest.


Given that disks are cheap these days, and time is expensive, and setup.exe is (as always :-) ) mind-numbing, most users I know just install "All" from the top level, always. Saves a lot of setup-package searching later..

But ah, if we could figure out which packages are being *used*, that would be fantastic..
