-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I know it is possible to create /dev/std{in,out,err} myself, simply making symlinks to /proc/self/fd/{0,1,2}, once I create an underlying physical /dev directory. But by doing so, I have made it so that the version of bash that I compile detects their existence, and assumes it can use /dev/stdin without problems, and then running that version of bash on other machines fails because /dev/stdin is not standard in cygwin. I suppose I could try to make the bash postinstall script create a physical /dev/ drive, and populate it with std{in,out,err}, but it seems like it might be nicer if cygwin/devices.in were to provide them natively for all users.
