Also error codes on failure, and the ability to check whether a user has certain rights (without using grep). If we decide to adopt it as a package, could we have a CVS repository for it under cygwin-apps (like for cygrunsrv), controlled by Chris (Rodgers), so that people can submit patches against CVS if need be? Unless Chris plans to release it totally separate from Cygwin...
