Yep, I thought about doing that, but it's very unappealing. Having to
constantly logout/in just to test under a different cygwin environment
isn't what I'd call an effective multi-user environment :-(
Anyway, I have another way in mind, but it'll take more work to setup and
virtually be two machines sharing a common disk. Gotta love VMWare !-)
