For future reference, as a logged-in user, clicking on the large
*text* reading "Post a Comment" should reveal a comment form. You may
need to have JavaScript enabled. I'm not a fan of this interface
either and it's on my todo list to switch the project over to the
FSF's debbugs instance, but I don't know when I'm going to have time
to do that (probably not before the end of CMU's spring term).

Indeed. And if you are using Cygwin, shouldn't you be using
/cygdrive/c/... instead of c:\... ? (or however it's spelled, it's
been a very long time since I used Cygwin)
