Hi,

I have updated upx to the latest version.

From the docs:
'Programs and libraries compressed by UPX are completely self-contained
and run exactly as before, with no runtime or memory penalty for most
of the supported formats.'
(NOTE: cygwin/win32 is supported)
I have compressed my complete /bin directory and save about 40% space now!
(That are now 20MB now and were 36MB before, e.g gdb.exe has now 679kb and
 it still works as before, how much kb is yours?)

It installs itself in '/usr/bin', '/usr/man/man1' & '/usr/doc/upx' if you 
unpack it from '/' with 'tar xvjf upx-1.20.tar.bz2'

Read the README to build it for yourself, or fetch a copy of the binary at:
    http://familiehaase.de/cygwin.html
See you there:-)
