Not anymore. :-) I've been asking for someone to change this for a while but I finally decided to do this myself. I'm adding package checking to cygcheck.exe right now. I wanted to get a more intelligent version of cygcheck.exe released for cygwin 1.3.5. Changing cygcheck to a mingw application has obvious benefits and I'd been meaning to add some crude package handling to it for a while. It was sort of a proof-of-concept type of thing but it works ok for a version 1. The only problem is that I had to pull a lot of code out of setup.exe. I think we need a "libutils" directory or something that will allow the sharing of setup's version handling, filename parsing, and mount table handling. The mount table stuff is almost good enough now for inclusion in a cygwin-lite type of package that was mentioned in the cygwin mailing list a while ago. cgf
