Sorry for late response.

I tested the 1.4.16-4(TEST), and confirmed that cygstart, getclip
and putclip can be executed on my old machine which does not have
AVX instruction.

However, I encountered a problem with putclip.
Run 'echo AAAAAAAA | putclip' and paste clipboard to notepad.exe.
Pasted string is garbled in my environment.

What am I wrong with?
