Are there actually other users of "woman"? While I tested the fixes myself on GNU/Linux, woman.el does a _lot_ of Windows/Cygwin centric stuff (however wise or not it may be to put such code into woman.el instead of providing the general facilities elsewhere). While I think that I got the Cygwin angle covered properly by now, I have not actually have the ability to check so myself. If we don't have active users on this list, I don't see a good way to get testing coverage apart from checking it in and having it appear in the next pretest. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
