I have a suggestion for how to deal with the "old" 
fileutils/textutils/etc.  Provide "empty" versions of the packages this 
replaces, bumping each by 1 revision.  This way, it should "uninstall" 
the old stuff before installing the new stuff.  At least, it worked for 
Jan when the new teTeX packages were made.  Also, IIRC, some of the 
packages were linked against libbinmode.a to prevent problems with 
CR/LF.  I wonder if this ought to be libautomode?

Also, our /bin/sh is pretty much braindead (no job control, amoungst 
other things) since it was decided that shaving 50k off of ash is worth 
not having a POSIX compliant version.  Subsequently, the nohup script 
will not work with /bin/sh (ash), so it is necessary to force it to use 
bash instead.  See the following scripts from mknetrel to see what needs 
to be done pre/post config & build:
http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/mknetrel/extra/fileutils?rev=1.2&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup&cvsroot=cygwin-apps
http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/mknetrel/extra/sh-utils?rev=1.3&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup&cvsroot=cygwin-apps
http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/mknetrel/extra/textutils?rev=1.2&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup&cvsroot=cygwin-apps

Note that it is easier to just to pass -L/usr/lib -lbinmode to LDFLAGS 
instead of bothering with printing gcc's search path.

Finally, this is kinda picky, but why not use bzip2 instead of gzip for 
the manpages?

Cheers,
Nicholas
