Cygutils is a collection of useful(?) tools for the cygwin
platform. This is a feature enhancement release.
[[ compiled using gcc-4.3.4-1 ]]
This release is taken from the cygwin-1.7-specific
development branch (cygutils-1.4.1 will no longer compile
on legacy versions of cygwin; it requires functions noly
added in the newer cygwin kernels).
CHANGES (from cygutils-1.4.0-1)
================================
* Add --help option to lpr.
* Build system improvements.
* Add new cygdrop utility (Christian Franke; requires w2k or better)
* Many of the utilities have been relicensed as GPLv3+.
* Update requires: remove cygwin, add libgcc1 and libstdc++6 (now
that we compile using gcc4)
TODO (call for patches):
================================
* Update lpr.cc and mkshortcut.c to use cygwin-1.7 cygwin_conv_path
instead of deprecated cygwin_conv_to_win32_path.
* Update (some?) utilities to handle unicode filenames, similar to
IWAMURO Motonori's work on cygstart. Which utilities need this?
mkshortcut and lpr, probably. Any others?
