This would be quite easy. But the problem is that we might need to rename
Cygwin.dll in order to avoid conflicts. It may become a maintenance
nightmare. This will not stop Cygwin from provinding PostgreSQL neither.
To my mind, the solution is to deliver all software needed (native Apache,
native Python, Native OpenOffice, Cygwin layer, Dev-C++, pgAdmin2,
Cygwin-KDE) within a SINGLE installer. See my previous mails.
Work is time-consuming. If I have to spend time on a project, this will be for
getting rid of Microsoft hegemony, not the less.
Cheers,
Jean-Michel
