Re: 1.7.31: Too old (version 5.2.12-1) and too buggy "multitail" text utils package included

Current cygwin version 1.7.31 unfortunately includes just the old
version 5.2.12-1 of the text utils package "multitail".
The current multitail version is 6.2.1 according to the developer's
web site http://www.vanheusden.com/multitail/ which gets rid of a lot
of bugs (e.g. weird characters being displayed if files contaings
hard-coded tab characters).

Would it please be possible to integrate a newer multitail version in
one of the upcoming cygwin versions!

Cygwin's distribution is allot like many Linux distributions - its a
collection of packages that are updated on disconnected schedules.
Multitail is a package of its own with its own versions, as you know.
Cygwin has its own maintainers for packages that are responsible for
updating packages.  So your request is actually best directed at the
Cygwin maintainer for multitail.  But since maintainers typically
monitor this list and it is the recommended way to communicate with
them, you've made the request already. :-)
