Very nice.

I still plan to publish cygipc2 as soon as 1.5.0 comes out; it's ready 
to upload (except for that pesky "linked against a snapshot" problem; 
waiting...)

(cygipc2 is just cygipc, compiled against the 1.5.0-ish kernel, using 
cygwin1.dll's 64bit ftok(), etc etc.  Nothing fancy.)

Hmm...coupled with the upcoming release of cygipc2, I've moved many of 
the ipc tools into cygutils (cygutils-2.x release is also awaiting 1.5.0)

Here are the tools that I've ported into cygutils:

(From cygipc-1.x distro, moved to cygutils.  On linux, these are part of 
the util-linux distribution -- which is where most of the tools in 
cygutils originated.  So, cygutils seems like the right place for these 
tools.)

ipcrm.8
ipcrm.c
ipcs.8
ipcs.c
ipck

These have been in cygutils for a while -- taken from the Linux 
Programming Guide, Chp 6 (IPC).

msgtool.c
semtool.c
semstat.c
shmtool.c
