csih (cygwin-service-installation-helper) provides a library
of shell functions that can be used by other cygwin packages
that provide servers and daemons. It can assist in various
service installation tasks, such as:

* identifying the underlying Windows OS
* detecting whether a "privileged user" exists and what its
  name is (that is, a user account with enhanced privileges
  necessary for some services)
* creating a privileged user if one doesn't already exist
  (assuming the caller has permissions to create new users)
* creating "normal" users
* obtaining the (localized) name of well known accounts
  (Guest, Administrator)

It is currently used by inetutils(iu-config, syslogd-config),
openssh (ssh-host-config, ssh-user-config), sspi(sspi-config),
sysvinit(init-config), and various others.  csih should not be
used directly; instead, config scripts like the ones mentioned
above should 'source' the csih script, and then use the
functions provided.

This is bugfix release. It is specific for cygwin-1.7,
and will not operate correctly if installed under cygwin-1.5.
For legacy cygwin installations, use csih-0.2.x. As cygwin-1.7
requires WinNT or better, csih-0.9.x will also report an error
if used on legacy (Win9x) systems.

CHANGES (since 0.9.0-1)
========================

  to work around issue with HGFS. (Corinna Vinschen)
