That'd be me ;-)
And I would expect someone like me (who only helps out with one small
package, and really doesn't know very much about
GNU/gcc/Make/cygwin/etc) to stay *new* for a LONNNGGG time...
(It doesn't help that I tend to be a perfectionist, and can't help but
ask questions about nitpicky stuff.) I agree that it's much safer to
just be overly specific about a topic such as this, than to leave
something unclear and deal with some other new person's questions (or
mistakes) later.
Thanks!
