Hi,
actually your patch seems to be useful when having to switch
between different codepages.
But I have two problems with that patch:
- First of all, your patch isn't `trivial' enough so that we
can incorporate it without getting a signed copyright assignment
form from you as described on http://cygwin.com/contrib.html.
Please send us the signed form via snail mail. As soon as we
received it we can use your patch.
- Your ChangeLog entry isn't correctly indented. And please use
your real name, not a pseudonym.
Otherwise I'd be happy to apply your patch to Cygwin.
Thanks,
Corinna
