That's not fair.  Charles used cvs; his cygutils repository was converted to git 
and I've been maintaining it since the conversion.  My confusion is in whether 
updates are totally described by git commits or whether they also/instead appear 
in the huge patch file.  This is an internal issue that I need to resolve.

I apologize that problematic cygutils builds have been released due to my not 
fully understanding the subtleties of Charles' build factory.

There's an upcoming cygutils-1.4.16-5 that's intended to be a clean update that 
fixes the reported problems in -3 and -4test.  Once that is out, the public 
repository for cygutils will be updated in short order.
Thanks,

..mark
