[mail@leosimons.com: Re: Small problems building under cygwin]

[Leo Simons <ma...@leosimons.com>]

Dan has an autoresponder. I refuse to use those buggers, especially when they're

Dan,

could you fix your mailer to have the from address as an actual person (eg
your name). I'm not used to getting emails from a JVM :-)

cheers!
