I agree, but, like some other parts of our utils, you don't have to put
the Red Hat copyright in there if you go with a BSD-style license, Jon.
Look at the header of ldd.cc.  This is fine for new Cygin utils.

Just one, really important point:  Would you mind to add documentation
for the tool and its usage to utils.xml?
