Can I ask that we _do not_ distribute binaries with IPC support enabled.
Three reasons:
1) It's not part of cygwin core. It _may_ have problems with fork(), and
it will not interoperate with the coming in-cygwin implementation.
2) It's not part of cygwin core.... thus we will have more user
questions because they cannot get it via setup.
3) I can't think of a third reason :]

They are advised to install all of cygwin now. The specific package list
is in Harold's User guide, and the latest sgml sources aren't uploaded
AFAIK.

Is this the text you want? If not I'm not quite sure what I should be
saying ..

Do we have a list of possible problems... users will not know what is in
the xc sources tree.
