  18 1.3.4
  19   Fix installation bug, exposed by new libtool's modified
  20   behavior (reported by Jerry Hedden and David Rothenberger)
  21
  22 1.3.3
  23   cygstart: Add new -w/--wait option (Barry Kelly)
  24             Propagate exit status of child process when -w (Alex Smith)
  25
  26 1.3.2
  27   cygicons: a new DLL that provides cygwin-related icons
  28             original images were obtained from various (free
  29             as in speech) sources.
  30   Now installs documentation into $(prefix)/share/doc/cygutils
  31   Also installs per-component documentation in $(docdir)/component/
  32   No longer link apps to libpopt if they don't need it.
  33   Needs libtool for building cygicons, but side effect is to use
  34     libtool throughout.  cygicons requires libtool to be configured
  35     with RC support (e.g. windres). This may break building on
  36     non-w32 platforms.

  71 1.2.6
  72   Remove readlink (now provided by coreutils-5.3.0+)
  73   conv/d2u/u2d:  add --force/--safe options (defaults to safe).
  74      Identify binary files by presence of '\0' and bail if --safe.
  75      Do not short circuit if first line ends in target style; keep
  76      going.  Collapse sequences of '\r' without '\n' to a single
  77      EOL of target style.  '--force' propagates '\0' from input to
  78      output.
