Sorry if my upload without waiting for your reply was too hasty, but it
appears no harm was done.  On closer inspection of /usr/src/more*/more.c,
you did list yourself as the person porting to cygwin, and I should have
realized that you are still actively on the cygwin lists.

Meanwhile, cygwin less is at 381, but upstream less 382 is out (although
http://www.greenwoodsoftware.com/less/ says there is no need to upgrade);
and looking at /usr/src/less-381-1, I can't see a maintainer there either.
 Who maintains less, and are they willing to make a new release of less
that includes /bin/more as a link to less, so that we can obsolete the
more package in favor of less?  This time, I won't be so hasty (with more,
I figured that 3 years of inactivity warranted an instant upgrade).

To summarize, should cygwin follow the maxim 'less is more'? :)
