cgf previously vetoed an ITP of script that was "non-standard":

http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2004-11/msg00038.html
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2004-11/msg00044.html

My script package is based on:

http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-09/msg01371.html

Which appears to be a (old) port of the util-linux script, but the code
is quite different from the script.c in the current util-linux-2.12r.  I
have tweaked the util-linux script to compile, but it needs further testing.

Actually, after exploring util-linux, it appears that a number of
utilities could be packaged from there, but some of them are duplicated
in cygutils.  Maybe the cygutils maintainer (Chuck?) could step forward
and help explain the similarities and differences between cygutils and
util-linux.
