Why not apply Occam's razor to the problem?

There's a getopt.c in a directory called 'libiberty'.
There's a getopt.c in a directory called 'newlib'.
And, there's a getopt.c in a directory called 'cygwin'.

Now, which of the above would you assume would be incorporated into
cygwin1.dll?

Or, you could even look in the Makefile if this kind of analysis makes
no sense.

Next step will be to figure out whether to use vim or vi, I suppose.
