cygpath --help -- A Nit

[Randall R Schulz]

Hi,

The "cygpath --help" output does not include a final newline.

You're right.  I've checked in a fix.  Thanks for the heads up.

Chris, Igor,

I had a copy of cygpath in my $HOME/bin directory. It was one sent out by 
Igor on Sep. 15th attached to this message to John Morrison :

Sorry.

(Yeah, the newline is missing there, too)

I waited for Cygwin 1.3.13-2 to appear on my mirror yesterday and then 
installed it. I just re-ran Setup.exe and confirmed that my installation is 
up-to-date, at least w.r.t. to the packages available at "mirror.mcs.anl.gov".

Cygcheck -s -v output is attached.

According to the package search utility at <http://cygwin.com/packages/>, 
"cygpath" is a part of the "cygwin" package.

I wonder why I don't have the latest "cygpath?" (Igor has 1.24, I have 
1.21) It's also curious that Chris reported that he checked in the fix the 
same day I reported the problem (August 23rd) and the compile date reported 
by the "cygpath" on my system is Sep. 15, so why doesn't it include the fix?

Could this be an example of there being a program duplicated in multiple 
packages?

Sorry.  I actually did check cygpath and then used the wrong program

The newline is there.  You can check the sources for yourself, if
you want.  I just tried it myself and it is definitely there:

Back in August, I sent this message:

Hi,

I was expecting the 1.13 release of Cygwin to include the fix you 
mentioned, but the output is still missing that final newline. Of course, 
this is no big deal, but I thought I'd remind you.
