Packaging looks good to me, but there's something strange:

  $ ./which -v
  GNU which v2.18, Copyright (C) 1999 - 2007 Carlo Wood.
  [...]
  $ ./which ls
  /usr/bin/ls
  $ ./which regedit
  ./which: no regedit in (/home/corinna/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/cygdrive/c/Windows/system32:/cygdrive/c/Windows:/cygdrive/c/Windows/System32/Wbem:/usr/bin)
  $ ./which regedit.exe
  ./which: no regedit.exe in (/home/corinna/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/cygdrive/c/Windows/system32:/cygdrive/c/Windows:/cygdrive/c/Windows/System32/Wbem:/usr/bin)

Old which:

  $ which regedit
  /cygdrive/c/Windows/regedit
  $ which regedit.exe
  /cygdrive/c/Windows/regedit.exe

Can you look into this?


Thanks,
Corinna
