Now that cygwin-1.5.20 is out, I would like to release coreutils-5.97-1 as
the latest stable upstream release.  However, it depends on autoconf 2.60,
and requires autoreconf to fold in my cygwin-specific patches.  Should I
wait for the cygwin package of autoconf 2.60, so that coreutils can be
rebuilt with a self-contained stock cygwin install?  Or should I just go
ahead and release coreutils now with a big caveat in the readme file that
the user must manually install their own autoconf 2.60 to reproduce my build?
