msgtool.exe / shmtool.exe / semtool.exe / semstat.exe
  These programs were taken from "Linux Programmer's
  Guide - Chapter 6" with a few changes so that they 
  build cleanly.  The original versions were written
  by (C)opyright 1994-1995, Scott Burkett.
  ** MODULE: msgtool
     A command line tool for tinkering with SysV style 
	  Message Queues
  ** MODULE: semtool
     A command line tool for tinkering with SysV style 
	  Semaphore Sets
  ** MODULE: semstat
     Another tool for tinkering with Semaphore Sets
  ** MODULE: shmtool
     A command line tool for tinkering with shared memory 
  For information on how to use these tools, call them
  with the '-?' option.  Also, see the Linux Programmer's
  Guide -- the IPC chapter is included with the cygipc 
  distribution.
    These tools can only be built if cygipc is installed
  and thus are not portable to non-cygwin platforms.  Also,
  they can only operate properly if ipc-daemon is running.
  Eventually I'll figure out how to get autotools to NOT 
  try to build them if IPC services are not available, and
  I'll figure out how to link/test for libcygipc.a on cygwin
  and just -lc on linux, etc.
