I think the divergence is nominally correct, as for a far object the image for each eye will be straight ahead of each eye, so on the screen they will be as far apart as your eyes are. As things get closer, your eyes have to converge, so the images on the screen get closer together. Perhaps you

For cygwin, I usually just download and run the latest setup.exe from the cygwin website, and let it do an update. I think you can select beta packages (if available) by clicking on the version number in the package selection list. This process is simple to do, but it will update all your other

It seems to me that we are discussing the issue right now, but we are in danger of getting side tracked. Maybe we should put it out to a vote? We've only had a few people weigh in here, which likely means the rest of the developers don't care, or it's not a battle they think is worth fighting.
