I've checked in some changes that may destabilize things for a while
until the bugs have been wrung out.
1) Changed CTRL-Z handling so that tty handler recognizes when a signal
has been sent and exits appropriately.
2) Cleaned up extension scanning in symlink_info::check. I've been slowly
cleaning up this routine and Corinna's addition of .lnk scanning prompted
me to work on this a little more.
3) Eliminated the ReadFile (this topic was all the rage in the cygwin mailing
list a while ago) unless the program using cygwin needs to check for the
executable bit. This requires a recompilation to operate correctly.
The one that is probably most iffy is 2. I really redesigned things and
everything seemed to work the first time. That's usually a symptom that
I got something horribly wrong somewhere and I just don't remember one
of the parameters to the problem. It does seem to scan .exe extensions
correctly and correctly default to finding .lnk when appropriate,
though.
