Thank you. Let's wait until 1.7.0-63 now.

In the same spirit, i discovered that
`cygcheck -s' does not behave correctly (ie is prematurely
interrupted) if COMSPEC is not set to the
appropriate value (C:\WINNT\system32\cmd.exe or equivalent),
or is not set at all.

This fact would perhaps deserve a short notice in some man page.

Denis Excoffier.
