Like you say, some issue are inherent in the problem-space.
but... multiple versions of Cygwin can coexist these days. It did used to be an issue, granted. tho these days quite a few programs distribute their own cygwin dll and tools.
I agree, licensing may be an issue for some people.
Thanks. It's good to know that the multiple version issue has been addressed - although from the FAQ it sounds like there are still a few (unlikely) corner cases one needs to keep in mind.
