Some of them do, and then we can't help them. Here we go again, you give
them a stripped-down version that they can't use fully. What is a
"developer" kit without a debugger?

Yes. 300 MB complete working cygwin install vs a stripped down, possibly
non-working one (because Rockbox might have started to use something you
haven't anticipated). Which would you choose?
