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 IPC functions are 
  available.  On cygwin, that (currently) means "only if
  the cygipc package is installed".

  as target, icon, window state, etc)
  (GPL)

cygstart.exe
  A command-line tool which allows you to let Windows start a program or open
  a file or URL in its associated application. It is similar to the Windows
  command-line start command.
  (GPL)

col.exe
  Filters out reverse (and half reverse) line feeds so that the output is in
  the correct order with only forward and half forward line feeds, and replaces
  white-space characters with tabs where possible.

  util-linux.

rev.exe

  reversing the order of characters in every line.  If no files are speci-
  fied, the standard input is read.
  (BSD-no-advert *)

column.exe
  columnate lists
  The column utility formats its input into multiple columns.  Rows are
  filled before columns.  Input is taken from file operands, or, by
  default, from the standard input.  Empty lines are ignored.
  (BSD-no-advert *)

colcrt.exe
  filter nroff output for CRT previewing
  Colcrt provides virtual half-line and reverse line feed sequences for
  terminals without such capability, and on which overstriking is destruc-
  tive.  Half-line characters and underlining (changed to dashing `-') are
  placed on new lines in between the normal output lines.
  (BSD-no-advert *)

ipcs.exe, ipcrm.exe, ipck:
  IPC utilities brought over from cygipc.
  (GPL)

(*) originally BSD+advert, but falls under the blanket 
    conversion to BSD-no-advert, because it was originally
	 part of the UCB BSD distro. 
    <http://www.opensource.org/licenses/bsd-license.html>:
    Note: The advertising clause in the license appearing 
    on BSD Unix files was officially rescinded by the 
    Director of the Office of Technology Licensing of the 
    University of California on July 22 1999. He states 
    that clause 3 is "hereby deleted in its entirety."

Note: "last.exe" and "utmpdump.exe" were previously provided by
cygutils.  However, once the `sysvinit' package was added to
the cygwin distribution, they were removed.  They are now
provided by `sysvinit' -- which is where we took them from
in the first place.
