This collection started life called the "misc" package,
but was renamed to "cygutils" at version 0.9.5.
-Many of these utilities require the popt
-library, available here:
- ftp://ftp.rpm.org/pub/rpm/test-4.0.1/popt-1.6.1.tar.gz
+Many of these utilities require the popt library. Others
+may require the gettext and iconv libraries (libintl, libiconv).
-A Note on Licenseing:
+Actually, all of the programs that required gettext have been
+removed from this package, as they are now provided by other
+packages (usually, the original source package from which they
+were once copied into THIS package!). Thus, "last" is now
+in the `sysvinit' package, and `cal' (+ many more) are now in
+the `util-linux' package.
+
+However, I've kept the infrastructure for gettext-enabled
+programs just because I don't want to have to regenerate it
+if ever we add a new utility to this package which requires
+gettext functionality.
