Re: wget postinstall and setup (MAXB please take note)


Hi guys,

Sorry for busting in...

Wouldn't putenv("CYGWIN=nontsec") possibly override a user's own CYGWIN
environment variable (I always set mine under HKLM)

Wouldn't it be preferable to check the existence of the CYGWIN
environment variable and simply append "nontsec" in this case?

my 2 cents.
