What I really meant above is that some people don't need to rebase any
files, some people need to rebase some, and some people need to rebase
all. I have provided rebase tools to help -- now it's up to people to
use them as appropriate for their own particular situation.

Yes, one can always use:
$ find / -name '*.dll' | xargs -n 1 cygpath -wa >rebase.tmp
to find all DLLs, but I hope that you are patient. :,)

The above will work.

My latest rebase will skip files that will be corrupted by rebasing.
So, rebase to your heart's content!

The following can be used to find all setup-installed DLLs:
$ zcat /etc/setup/*.lst.gz | grep '\.dll$' | sed 's=^=/=' | xargs -n 1 cygpath -wa >rebase.tmp

My goal was to make my rebase as similar in usage to the Microsoft one
as possible.

I concur. I think that Chris's suggestion will most likely solve the
problem. It certain solved the same (or similar) problem for me in the
past.
