I wasn't going to attempt that. (I now tried it anyway, and the result
indeed isn't pretty.)

No, what I was going to try was using Warren's bevelled Cygwin logo
with the wider stroke to create the standalone logo at 16 and 24 and
the logo-in-terminal at 32, 48, and 64.

Resulting cygwin-terminal.ico attached, with the 256x256 taken from
the current one. I think it's an improvement, particularly at 32x32.

Hmm, interesting idea. Attempt attached, with wedge-in-terminal
instead of the standalone logo at 16x16 and 24x24. I think I prefer
the logo though.

On second thoughts, the move of mintty to the Base category (but not
the removal of the postinstall/preremove scripts) should probably be
done a day before uploading the new setup.exe, to make sure it's got
to the mirrors before setup.exe starts depending on it.

No, thanks for spotting that. And actually the bash dependency isn't
needed anymore either, following the removal of the
postinstall/preremove scripts. Hence I dropped the 'requires' line
completely (after checking that there are other packages without a
'requires' line).
