[ITP] mp3info-0.8.5a

I'd like to maintain mp3info for Cygwin. It does not have a good build system, but it's simple and I somewhat managed it to work. Besides using it as a standalone utility, it can be used in Emacs EMMS (that's in fact is why I need it). Project page: http://ibiblio.org/mp3info/ Debian package:

RE: Automatic X server startup

Hello! I believe this is arranged using launchd on OS X, which listens on the socket the X server will use, and starts the X server when something connects. Unfortunately, there is no similar system facility on Windows. But it should be possible to make xlib a little bit more smart,

Hi Abhijit, Please note, when I am saying the path is getting truncated, its the bash that is truncating it. Also, its immaterial how and what is getting called. With the latest Cygwin, any program that is compiled and linked with the CRT would exhibit this behavior. The truncation issue in
