cygwin-mketc.sh

[Paul Johnston]

Hi,

Windows has direct equivalents of some standard unix files: /etc/hosts,
services, protocols, networks. It is helpful to have symbolic links from
these files in /etc to the windows equivalents. A few weeks ago we
talked about this on the main cygwin list. Some of us came up with this
postinstall script, which has been tested and hardened against windows
95/98/ME and NT4/2000/XP (not been tested on NT 3.51). Under NT it works
with both NTFS and FAT, and it works with strict_case=yes.

I think it should go in the main cygwin package and install as
/etc/postinstall/cygwin-mketc.sh
