====================================================================
What's new:
-----------
- Drop support for Vista and Server 2008.
- Drop support for 32 bit Windows and WOW64.
- Allow to run with full ASLR enabled and enable on Cygwin DLL by default.
- Remove any special handling for the .com filename suffix. It has to
be used always explicitely.
- Add code to handle setrlimit(RLIMIT_AS).
- Add code to handle signal masks in /proc/<PID>/status.
- Handle UDP_SEGMENT and UDP_GRO socket options.
What changed:
-------------
- The CYGWIN=pipe_byte option is now set by default, so that pipes are
opened in byte mode rather than message mode.

- The stdio input functions no longer try again to read after EOF.
This aligns Cygwin behavior to that of Linux.

- Treat an empty path (empty element in PATH or PATH is absent) as
the current directory as Linux does.

- The default values of FD_SETSIZE and NOFILE are now 1024 and 3200,
respectively.
