Here are the util-linux progs that I believe
still need to be added to cygutils:

Would the cygutils package be a suitable home for two other
util-linux programs: ipcs and ipcrm?

I have these now compiled and working against the cygwin_daemon
branch.  Since these presumably aren't going to be part of the
cygwin package and I'm loath to create a package just for these
two utilities, I'm keen to find some other existing package in
which to lose them.  They're unlikely to need much support (once
I've hacked them up properly).

Yes, Robert and I have talked about that in the past. cygipc includes them, but once cygdaemon is official I'll add them to cygutils.

Currently, cygutils includes a few IPC test programs (but not ipcrm or ipcs) -- but those are only built if cygipc is installed, are are not included in "official" cygutils package since cygipc isn't official.

If you can
1) give me the code -- see cygutils' HOW-TO-CONTRIBUTE document
2) also come up with an m4 macro for configure.in that I can use to detect the presence of a cygserver-capable cygwin1.dll

Then I have no problems adding ipcs and ipcrm to cygutils BEFORE cygserver goes gold.
