Red Hat and Mandriva split these utilities out into a separate package[*] but that would be something you'd have to prevail on cgf to change.

Whenever he rebuilds 1.22.2 for 32-bit, I expect 32-bit Cygwin to start requiring Perl, too, unless he splits out the Perl programs into a separate package. -- 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
