Hi folks,

I wonder if a couple defaults should be changed for Windows:

First, I think release-device should default to yes. Anyone who can get as far as Cygwin or a command prompt must almost by definition have a Windows screen reader available. I don't see what defaulting release-device to off will accomplish for anybody. There should be a way to turn it off in case somebody's running Cygwin under Windows on a 286 <grin> where the time consumed might be important, but for the general case I think defaulting it on would serve most people best.

The other thing we might change: I noticed not long ago that README.Windows suggests using the --enable-relocatable-install option during ./configure. I've never done this, assuming if this is the Windows convention brltty would do this automatically. If I start doing it now will it mess up the way the subversion brltty is built? And if it's the best idea for windows, shouldn't it be the default in the first place?

Thanks much,
