  51
  52 1.4.2
  53   Add hippo icon to cygicons.
  54   Fix mkshortcut bug.
  55
  56 1.4.1
  57   Add --help option to lpr.
  58   Build system improvements.
  59   Add support for building on MinGW.
  60   Add new cygdrop utility (Christian Franke; requires w2k or better)
  61   Many of the utilities have been relicensed as GPLv3+.
  62
  63 1.4.0
  64   Add support to cygstart for filenames with UTF/wide chars.
  65   (IWAMURO Motonori).
  66
  67 ^^ Begin cygwin-1.7-specific development ^^
  68
  69 1.3.4
  70   Fix installation bug, exposed by new libtool's modified
  71   behavior (reported by Jerry Hedden and David Rothenberger)
  72
  73 1.3.3
  74   cygstart: Add new -w/--wait option (Barry Kelly)
  75             Propagate exit status of child process when -w (Alex Smith)
  76
  77 1.3.2
  78   cygicons: a new DLL that provides cygwin-related icons
  79             original images were obtained from various (free
  80             as in speech) sources.
  81   Now installs documentation into $(prefix)/share/doc/cygutils
  82   Also installs per-component documentation in $(docdir)/component/
  83   No longer link apps to libpopt if they don't need it.
  84   Needs libtool for building cygicons, but side effect is to use
  85     libtool throughout.  cygicons requires libtool to be configured
  86     with RC support (e.g. windres). This may break building on
  87     non-w32 platforms.
  88
  89 1.3.1
  90   cygstart: compatibility fixes for recent cygwin snapshots
  91   build machinery updated to latest autotools -- now passes distcheck

 125      Identify binary files by presence of '\0' and bail if --safe.
 126      Do not short circuit if first line ends in target style; keep
 127      going.  Collapse sequences of '\r' without '\n' to a single
 128      EOL of target style.  '--force' propagates '\0' from input to
 129      output.
