David,

Is not having hash synchronization going to impair the ability to 
compile and run java apps on cygwin?  Just wondering how big of a loss 
that is.  Also, I was wondering if you noticed any bizarre behaviour 
with the install scripts for libjava?  I was runing a make install about 
a week ago, and it wasn't recognizing the exe extention, which caused 
some problems with temp files.

Cheers,
Nicholas
