+    See this thread: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2010-04/msg00600.html
+  * cygstart: Fix --reference. Allow relative paths (enables, e.g.

+
+^^ Begin cygwin-1.7-specific development ^^

+
+1.3.3
+  cygstart: Add new -w/--wait option (Barry Kelly)

+1.3.2
+  cygicons: a new DLL that provides cygwin-related icons
+            original images were obtained from various (free
+            as in speech) sources.
+  Now installs documentation into $(prefix)/share/doc/cygutils
+  Also installs per-component documentation in $(docdir)/component/
+  No longer link apps to libpopt if they don't need it.
+  Needs libtool for building cygicons, but side effect is to use
+    libtool throughout.  cygicons requires libtool to be configured
+    with RC support (e.g. windres). This may break building on 
+    non-w32 platforms.
+
+1.3.1
+  cygstart: compatibility fixes for recent cygwin snapshots
+  build machinery updated to latest autotools -- now passes distcheck
