Yes.

Good. I was hoping that being dependent on Ralf's code did not generate
significantly more work for me.

The current interface of the proposed library is as follows:
BOOL GetImageInfos(char *filename, uint *ImageBase, uint *ImageSize);
BOOL CheckImage(char *filename);
BOOL FixImage(char *filename);
BOOL ReBaseImage(
PSTR CurrentImageName,
PSTR SymbolPath, // ignored
BOOL fReBase,
BOOL fRebaseSysfileOk, // ignored
BOOL fGoingDown, // ignored
ULONG CheckImageSize, // ignored
ULONG *OldImageSize,
ULONG *OldImageBase,
ULONG *NewImageSize,
ULONG *NewImageBase,
ULONG TimeStamp
);
I'm only interested in ReBaseImage() which I have verified to be a drop
in replacement for the MS version.
Is the above interface acceptable?

Agreed.

My progress has been slow and not steady. Sigh...
My plan is to release ASAP a stand-alone rebase based on Ralf's rebase
and relocation fix-up functionality and a new "-T" option (like tar's).
In this way, that Apache, Perl, Python, etc. users on all platforms
(including Me) can easily rebase there entire system with the following
batch file snippet:
gzip -d -c /etc/setup/*.lst.gz | grep "dll$" | grep -v cygwin1.dll |
sed "s/^/\//" | xargs -n 1 cygpath -wa >rebase.lst
rebase -d -b 0x68000000 -o 0x10000 -T rebase.lst
del rebase.lst

I have verified the latter. I'm not set up for the former -- it would
be nice is someone who is could help me do so.

I have verified this one too.

I will probably need help with the above or at least some pointers.
Thanks,
