... Description of many problems ...

Ouch! I guess in fairness I ought to point out that I only do Java
development using the cygnus tools -- mostly bash, make, and the
file utils.  I also run bash within emacs so the command line editing
is not an issue for me.

I hadn't really clued in to this issue until someone else mentioned
it on the list since I haven't been using the cygwin library in
my own code.  This is probably reason enough to avoid going this
route for Squeak.

That seems reasonable.  I guess I'm still not quite past my initial
rush from years back: (Ahhhhh.... emacs, a real shell, forward slashes :-)

Thanks for the data.
