Cygutils is a collection of useful(?) tools for the cygwin
platform. This is a content update and feature enhancement.
[[ compiled using gcc-4.5.3-3 ]]
CHANGES (from cygutils-1.4.6-1)
================================
* Integrate cygstart with FD.o menu and mimetype system.
(Yaakov Selkowitz)
* Remove ascii utility; replaced by separate package derived
from ESR's implementation http://catb.org/~esr/ascii/
* Remove realpath utility; replaced by new implementation
provided by coreutils (8.15 and above).
TODO (call for patches):
================================
* Update lpr.cc, mkshortcut.c, readshortcut.c to use cygwin-1.7
cygwin_conv_path instead of deprecated cygwin_conv_to_win32_path.
* Update (some?) utilities to handle unicode filenames, similar to
IWAMURO Motonori's work on cygstart. Which utilities need this?
mkshortcut and lpr, probably. Any others?
