I've uploaded a test version of coreutils, 5.93-1.  This is a new, stable
upstream release, with a number of changes from 5.3.0.  However, this
build depends on features that have been added to cygwin since
cygwin-1.5.18-1 (such as getline and futimes), so I am leaving 5.3.0-9 as
current until cygwin-1.5.19 is released.  To use this release, you MUST
install a recent snapshot of cygwin (20051020 or later).  If you don't
know what this means, then stick with 5.3.0-9.  A list of changes from the
NEWS file appears below; see also /usr/share/doc/coreutils-5.93/.

This version also has a new cygwin-specific --append-exe option to ls(1)
(and dir, vdir) and stat(1); if a command-line argument does not have
.exe, but the file on the system does, then using this option will make
the listing show the .exe.  I found this addition to my ~/.bashrc useful
to use the new options (the spacing is chosen so that bash doesn't treat
the next word on the command line as an alias):

ls --append-exe -d . >/dev/null 2>&1 && append_exe=' --append-exe'
alias ls="ls {your favorite options here}$append_exe"
alias stat="stat$append_exe"
unset append_exe
