What's your prognosis on this? Is this a problem that is specific to
Sylvain's machine or is this going to be a problem because Cygwin/XFree86
has over 4000 files in the font directories?
Is there some limit to the allowed size of wininit.ini, or did you suggest
testing a subset simply to see if one of the commands in the latter part of
the file was invalid?
Basically: do we need to pull the Cygwin/XFree86 setup.exe release for now,
or can I go on with making changes to the web page, etc to announce the
release?
