  11   Add hippo icon to cygicons.
  12   Fix mkshortcut bug.

  16   Build system improvements.
  17   Add support for building on MinGW.
  18   Add new cygdrop utility (Christian Franke; requires w2k or better)

  26
  27 1.3.4
  28   Fix installation bug, exposed by new libtool's modified
  29   behavior (reported by Jerry Hedden and David Rothenberger)
  30
  31 1.3.3
  32   cygstart: Add new -w/--wait option (Barry Kelly)
  33             Propagate exit status of child process when -w (Alex Smith)
  34
  35 1.3.2
  36   cygicons: a new DLL that provides cygwin-related icons
  37             original images were obtained from various (free
  38             as in speech) sources.
  39   Now installs documentation into $(prefix)/share/doc/cygutils
  40   Also installs per-component documentation in $(docdir)/component/
  41   No longer link apps to libpopt if they don't need it.
  42   Needs libtool for building cygicons, but side effect is to use
  43     libtool throughout.  cygicons requires libtool to be configured
  44     with RC support (e.g. windres). This may break building on
  45     non-w32 platforms.

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