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

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