So the curent assesment is :
- python - and similar tools can break - is so use rebase to fix it.
- rebase is broken - is lets not use it all the time.
[so it appears cygwin can always be in broken state - this is not good]
And Jason's post was in Feb-2002 - and things have been in this bad
state since a long time.
Mabe those broken packages now work now? - so this objection can be
removed?
Thanks,
Satish
