That Chris can answer.  It relates to Cygwin only or not, does it cover our
project or not?
If he agrees I have no objection.  In that case you have to go and change
your Copright (c)2000 Harold Hunt
on FAQ to Copyright (c) 2000 for Draft only assigned to Harold Hunt, because
we will need to include
material contributed by others, that is an issue here.  I cannot have a
document ending with
Copyright (c) 2000  Harold Hunt while it contains material contributed by
others.  I hope you understand
what I am saying.
