That is better, yes. But again, the even better option IMHO is to have
a button on a dedicated dialog page that say "Check online on … for
updates.". That's what LibreOffice does and they do have a configure
option to remove the whole thing when the application is under control
of the system package manager. That is exactly the situation on Cygwin:
MinTTY is packaged and the information that Github has a new version is
useless anyway.
OK, I'm going the easy way and just change the default CheckVersionUpdate=0.
As the current notification (in the Options dialog title) is
asynchronous (in order not to ever delay mintty by this) and
asynchronous modification of a MessageBox (as used for the About info)
is not possible in Windows, moving it there would have become very
tricky anyway.
