POSIX 2008 available


For those who would like help modernize cygwin to the latest POSIX standard, 
POSIX 2008 is now freely available at:

http://www.opengroup.org/bookstore/catalog/c082.htm

which, once you accept a cookie, redirects to:

http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/toc.htm

For an example of the differences, 'touch -d date' is now standardized (it 
wasn't in POSIX 2001), although with a format that GNU coreutils still does not 
parse, so I've got some work ahead of me before the next coreutils release:
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/touch.html

(hmm, did you notice how the POSIX folks borrowed my username in the examples 
section?)
