If it were just me, I would agree. I think the native windows work is far
more important.

But I'm trying to respect the fact that there may well be a large set of
existing users of cygwin.

To my mind, the real question is: do they really need to bootstrap? I don't
know the answer, because I'm not one of the users.


(I also don't really know how long it would take, I don't even know how it
works and have only found random documents psuedo describing it...)
