[ rant/history lesson deleted for those with slow modems :-) ]

For the curious, the quotes were indicating a direct quote from 
(the top of) http://www.cygwin.com 
Perhaps not the best choice of wording... considering all the
individuals (besides Red Hat/Cygnus) who have helped make
cygwin possible.
