Hi guys,

is anybody of you maintaining a package (or is aware of any package in
the Cygwin distro) which is using the cygwin_internal(CW_CMDLINE) call?

If not, I will redefine the usage of this call in Cygwin 3.6.

The reason is that it's practically unusable, unless the caller only
fetches the first string from the output.  The call also returns its
content in allocated memory which is not free'able by the caller :(


Thanks,
Corinna
