Please, cgf, whatever you do, DON'T revert all the way back to make 3.8.x
- - that is just way too old for my liking :)  Or more generally, why do
people have the habit of mistyping version numbers when composing emails?
(although I'm probably guilty of that myself, at times)

Adding or deleting dots seems to be time-honored version-reporting
tradition in the cygwin lists.  There is also the use
some-random-number-that-I-noticed-on-my-screen method which seems to be
equally popular.

Btw, just to add to the POSIX fun, Corinna is thinking about making the
output of readlink() always report a POSIX path.  Get ready for the
shrieks of indignation now.  You heard it here first.

Personally, I get a kick out of "me using version CYGWIN_NT-5.1"
reports.  And by "kick" I mean "desire to stop reading the email right
there and go do something else."
