/dev/null [Was: xargs still nok?]

Don't spread misinformation. Cygwin is a Unix environment
emulation, so /dev/null ALWAYS exists (none of this junk about
"depending on your installation").
here is some output of my personal Cygwin installation:
$ ls /dev
ls: /dev: No such file or directory
It seems that the entire /dev directory is missing. And yes: I have
installed Cygwin with the regular setup program. Maybe, you have to
select a specific package in order to get /dev/null.
It might be interesting to know what you have to do in order to get /dev.
