My 2c: I think it's likely that other people will find this kind of functionality useful so, rather than introduce YA script to do this, I think modifying rebaseall makes sense. Then we can just point people to using rebaseall -w. It might even make sense to use this when setup.exe runs rebaseall. Again, just my 2c opinion. cgf -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
