Ah yes excellent!  Even better, now I don't need to create a patch file. 
  In a single line I can hack Xilinx's Xygwin tools over to Cygwin.

I'm doing the following

for f in $( find edk -name '*.exe' -o -name '*.dll' ) do
   vim -b -s xyg2cyg.sed $f
done

where xyg2cyg.sed contains
:%s/xygwin1.dll/cygwin1.dll/g
:wq

Is there a way I can pass these on the command line, without needing a 
seperate little script file like this?

Thanks,

John
