It's already on the list : <http://iocc.com/~joshua/cygwin.html> Kidding aside, however, I thought maybe the MS-SFU versions of some GNU utils might have useful patches, which they have to release to comply with the GPL. I downloaded the bash source from <http://www.interopsystems.com/tools/warehouse.htm> but it appears to be vanilla bash (except it includes pre-configured Makefiles and a couple header diffs). Of course, Cygwin bash is vanilla also. gcc might be much more interesting. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
