Re: cygport debug junk

Bzzzt.  Don't use internal structures.  If it's not documented in the
manual, you shouldn't be using it in your .cygport, and anything

Sorry, I didn't realize that.

But again, while I can't state this as policy, you really shouldn't be
disabling debuginfo on a widespread or permanent basis.  It's a feature
and it's there for a reason.

I disabled it for my recent texlive release, simply because texlive is so huge already that I didn't want to add to it. Do you think that was the wrong decision?
