I don't see that.  Testcase:

	$ mkdir foo
	$ cd foo
	$ rmdir .
	rmdir: failed to remove `.': Invalid argument

cd .. && rmdir foo does work.

This is the one that explains the 2.5x faster cygport builds I reported 
during the "rm -rf sometimes fails" thread back in December, I'm guessing?

This looks like a *huge* release, Corinna.  I think you could get away 
with calling it 1.9.0, and nevermind how recent 1.7.0 was.
