Ok, no worries.  I'm glad you're still here.  Would it be ok with you if
we update xpdf temporarily with the aforementioned patch until you're
back?

Btw., did you see the discussion about replacing man with man-db?
It started in March:

  http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2014-03/msg00241.html

There was also the MNAPATH question:

  http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2014-05/msg00283.html

Chris Breisch (CCed) is working on a man-db port.  What are you thinking,
Volker?  Is it ok with you to obsolete man in favor of man-db?


Thanks,
Corinna
