I'm confused by the perception that Cygwin is an "all or nothing" deal.
It's certainly possible to set up a package server that doles out just a
subset of the entire distribution. 'setup.exe' does this now. The default
set of packages is far less than the whole distribution. Any package server
with its own 'setup.ini' can define a larger or smaller set of default
packages. 'setup.exe' will install only those defaults if the user doesn't
select any others. I don't see where any of that requires special
knowledge. But since cwRsync is still a Cygwin-based app, I also don't see
how one can get away from the fact that it's based in Cygwin and has its
roots in Unix/Linux/POSIX environments. This would show through even with a
vanilla Windows port.
All that said, there's still no reason a third-party can't "go it's own
way". Personally, I'd rather see them add value by working with Cygwin
instead of against it. But I like synergy. ;-)
