if just want the bare essentials (no unixlike environment) and you realy
dont want it in the registry then you can refer to everything by
/cygpath/${driveletter}
(i use rsync on 2 servers this way. i just have them and cygwin1.dll in
path. and use absolute paths to run it and specify its conf file and use
absolute paths in the rsyncd.conf file)
It takes some thinking about but its doable.
However if you do this, dont expect to get much (if any) support from this
list.
