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?)
