[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: csih-0.1.8-1

[cygwin at cwilson dot fastmail dot fm]

csih (cygwin-service-installation-helper) provides a library of shell
functions that can be used by other cygwin packages that provide servers
and daemons. It can assist in various service installation tasks, such as:

* identifying the underlying Windows OS
* detecting whether a "privileged user" exists and what its name is
  (that is, a user account with enhanced privileges necessary for
  some services)
* creating a privileged user if one doesn't already exist (assuming the
  caller has permissions to create new users, of course)
* creating "normal" users
* obtaining the (localized) name of well known accounts (Guest,
  Administrator)

It is currently used by inetutils(iu-config, syslogd-config),
sspi(sspi-config), sysvinit(init-config). csih should not be used
directly; instead, config scripts like the ones mentioned above should
'source' the csih script, and then use the functions provided.


Changes (since 0.1.7-1)
======================
* explicitly set permissions on /var/[log|run|empty]
  and /etc. This simplifies code in most callers.
* Better support for (pre-existing) domain accounts
  as privileged and unprivileged users.
