  18   Fix mkshortcut bug.

  31 ^^ Begin cygwin-1.7-specific development ^^
  32
  33 1.3.4
  34   Fix installation bug, exposed by new libtool's modified
  35   behavior (reported by Jerry Hedden and David Rothenberger)
  36
  37 1.3.3
  38   cygstart: Add new -w/--wait option (Barry Kelly)
  39             Propagate exit status of child process when -w (Alex Smith)
  40
  41 1.3.2
  42   cygicons: a new DLL that provides cygwin-related icons
  43             original images were obtained from various (free
  44             as in speech) sources.
  45   Now installs documentation into $(prefix)/share/doc/cygutils
  46   Also installs per-component documentation in $(docdir)/component/
  47   No longer link apps to libpopt if they don't need it.
  48   Needs libtool for building cygicons, but side effect is to use
  49     libtool throughout.  cygicons requires libtool to be configured
  50     with RC support (e.g. windres). This may break building on
  51     non-w32 platforms.
  52
  53 1.3.1
  54   cygstart: compatibility fixes for recent cygwin snapshots
  55   build machinery updated to latest autotools -- now passes distcheck

  88   conv/d2u/u2d:  add --force/--safe options (defaults to safe).
  89      Identify binary files by presence of '\0' and bail if --safe.
  90      Do not short circuit if first line ends in target style; keep
  91      going.  Collapse sequences of '\r' without '\n' to a single
  92      EOL of target style.  '--force' propagates '\0' from input to
  93      output.
