Hi! I'm following up on an issue discussed on the Libtool list [1]. Basically, Libtool requires 'file' to be installed and breaks if it is not, and correctly so since 'file' is part of the POSIX base since issue 7 [2, at the bottom].
The fact that the Libtool package in Cygwin requires 'file' is not enough as a casual user building some libtoolized package unexpectedly has to make sure 'file' is installed. So, please add 'file' to the Cygwin 'base' category, moving us one small step closer to the POSIX heaven.
