Maybe we can try to use Wine. We've work on cygwin/msys2 support for a few month and we are very interesting in feedback from real world users ;-) With Wine (Staging) 1.7.52 + Cygwin we can bootstrap Cygwin runtime itself. Wine could be consistent among different users even they are using different version of Linux distribution, while different users might not be easy to use same Windows version due to License problems and so on. With some hack, I believe those timestamps/random number things could also be controlled in Wine. Not sure if that information really help you, but if you need any more info about Wine Cygwin support feel free to ask me ^^ Have a good day :) (Achim, I sent you a private email since I guessed not a lot people will be interesting in my reply, but after reading Stephen's post I decided to send again, sorry for duplicate post Achim) -- Regards, Qian Hong - http://www.winehq.org
