The reason for symlinking is a marginal startup performance improvement :). Actually, the styles menu does write dopath code in the session directory look.lua, so maybe that should be done in the initial setup too. > Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. > [Switching to Thread 0xb7d79a70 (LWP 13761)] > 0x00000000 in ??

I can't currently properly push these patches in the repository, as I have yet to set up cygwin properly. The default "cygwin" darcs is 100% broken -- it's not a real cygwin build, but a super-dirty hack that simply uses cygwin to build a native program, as is the case with ghc -- and does not properly work with cygwin. (Yes, I got a "new" computer, and at the moment it seems that it really is Goodbye Linux! Incidentally, the biggest troubles with the Windows (XP) switch are again that FOSS -- Cygwin -- is crap, slow, and doesn't even properly support multibyte encodings. Linux, well, it may be ready for the desktop, but it isn't ready for the laptop by a long stretch. But maybe I'll write something in the non-blog about it. Though I have to remark that the Trackpoint simply rocks.) -- In 1995, Linux was almost a bicycle; an alternative way of live to the Windows petrol beasts that had to be taken to the dealer for service. By 2008, Linux has bloated into a gas-guzzler, and local vendors and artisans have had to yield to "all under one roof" big box hypermarkets.
