Corinna and I talked about distributing a "sym" file that cygcheck could interpret a while ago. That was actually what caused me to add bz2 support to setup.exe. I wanted to play with getting bz2lib incorporated into the winsup directory and thought that it would be a good proof of concept to get it into setup.exe. Now that I have that, we can distribute a bzipped sym file along with the snapshots. As soon as I round my tuit. cgf
