See my original post (http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-09/msg01383.html)


Would it be worth considering using this version of which?  What are the
advantages of the Cygwin version?

I don't know (but using it would fix the other half of the problem..) - as for advantages it's (probably) simpler, smaller, faster.
(btw, I stated the cygwin which.exe was 5k, it's actually about 11k - I was testing the previous build to see if there was any difference which there wasn't).
