Alan, I'm sure if you post the patches (or a link to a website containing them) to this list, you'll get plenty of feedback. I'll certainly take a look at them, although someone may beat me to it. FYI, it's best if the patches are in unidiff (diff -up) format, as per <http://cygwin.com/contrib.html> (even though your patches won't be to the Cygwin source tree). That way they are easier to review. Igor P.S.
