Thanks for the patch. It looks good and is a nice idea. What's missing is a ChangeLog entry (just the plain entry, not as part of the patch itself) and briefly adding the new options to utils.sgml. There's just the problem of the copyright assignment. If you want to provide a non-obvious patch, or if the patch adds new functionality, we need a copyright assignment from you. Please see the section "Before you get started" on http://cygwin.com/contrib.html and the assignment form http://cygwin.com/assign.txt As soon as my manager has the assignment, I'll apply your patch. Thanks, Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Project Co-Leader cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat
