So the curent assesment is :
 
 - python - and similar tools can break - is so use rebase to fix it.
 - rebase is broken - is lets not use it all the time.

[so it appears cygwin can always be in broken state - this is not good]

And Jason's post was in Feb-2002 - and things have been in this bad
state since a long time.

Mabe those broken packages now work now? - so this objection can be
removed?

Thanks,
Satish
