Builds fine for me, and works as advertised with new pretty icons. One
thing of note: I haven't locally built setup since January, and even
after stripping and upx'ing:
-rwxrwxr-x 1 user group 889K Aug 3 11:33 setup.exe*
-rwxrwxr-x 1 user group 648K Jan 26 2011 setup.exe-save*
Most -- but not all -- of that is due to the new icons, which are only:
-rw-rw-r-- 1 user group 34K Aug 3 11:20 cygwin.ico
-rw-rw-r-- 1 user group 65K Aug 3 11:20 cygwin-setup.ico
-rw-rw-r-- 1 user group 80K Aug 3 11:20 cygwin-terminal.ico
I guess Jon's changes have added a lot of code :-)
I'll wait until (a) a new setup with these changes and new icons has
been 'officially' released, and (b) it's had time to 'settle', before
attempting to add the new ico's to the cygicons dll.
