Thanks for considering it. I think that a script that the used could run af=
ter installation would be fine. I don't use it, so it does not impact me di=
rectly. But I would not have expected that installing an editor in Cygwin w=
ould change windows file associations. I use vi in Cygwin, but would not wa=
nt that to change my file associations.
