I checked and it looks like the 'cmp' bug I referred to was
fixed in the source code on July 1998.  I'm not sure what release
of cygwin it showed up in, but it's good to know I won't have to
work around that one anymore.

        * configure.in: Add check for setmode so cygwin32 stuff
        works correctly.

Thanks again,
    Wayne
