In coreutils 9.1 the approach changed to using the dir FD relative API ...at 
functions:

faccessat, fchmodat, fchownat, fstatat, futimesat, linkat, mkdirat, mkfifoat, 
mknodat, openat/2, readlinkat, renameat/2, scandirat, symlinkat, unlinkat, utimensat

which required splitting Eric's former single patch, reworking many file patches 
extensively, and I still had to withdraw 9.1 because of issues; some patches 
need changes for each release, and may not all be complete yet, which is why I 
have managed only test releases so far.

The changes and patches require a cygwin.[ch]:cygwin_spelling() function (by 
Eric) which only handles .exe not .lnk etc, and affects lib/same.c same_name() 
function, and copy, install, ls, and stat program sources, as far as I can tell.

As well as the acl issues identified, there are also issues with sparse file 
detection (not "supported", even though it works), and testing, and the usual 
confusion between Cygwin, Msys, Mingw, and Windows histories.

Recent releases have also become more difficult to test because more cases just 
hang or loop and need killed to proceed: perl test timeouts do not break out 
reliably!
And file system loops create gigs of permission denied errors and log diffs.

Please (anyone!) feel free to review and suggest alternate/better approaches to 
patching and testing.

[Ports might have been easier had we kept to targeting BSD, SunOS, Solaris, plus 
POSIX, user lands, and ignored Linux, as being Linux-like but not supporting 
their headers, syscalls, and roots, seems to confuse some upstreams ;^> ]
