John,
I don't know if this is the right time to bring this up. But it is a
minor "windows" issue that we came across.
We use subversion for our VCS system. When we configured it to use
native line-endings (I don't remember the correct term for that in svn
lingo), we found the ecosconfig spits out files with Windows line
endings under windows/cygwin, even if cygwin is configured for unix
line-endings. This caused cygwin's svn to think that our ecosconfig
file changed every time we ran 'ecosconfig anything'.
Our solution was to use a windows native svn client. One developer
used TortiseSVN. I downloaded the windows command line version from
tigris.org. Both of these used windows line endings for everything, so
it matched ecosconfig.
But it would be nice if ecosconfig would honor the cygwin setting, or
maybe have a command line option for one or the other. Or if there is
an existing file, keep the line endings the same.

As a prelude to eCos 3.0, I have built an experimental version of the
eCos Configuration Tool suitable for Microsoft Windows Vista. This
snapshot build is available for download via the eCosCentric DevZone
page:
http://www.ecoscentric.com/devzone/configtool.shtml
If you try this build, please let me know if it works for you.
Problems
should be reported against component "ConfigTool" and version "CVS"
via
Bugzilla:
http://bugs.ecos.sourceware.org/
Please include the output of the Cygwin "uname -a" command, the
version
of Vista (eg "Home Premium") and whether you have SP1 applied.
Thank you
