I wish I could, unfortunately the cd's are inside makefiles and scripts that
run both on cygwin/NT/Win2K and on Solaris.  And the Suns aren't too happy
about cygpath.  I can hack around the problem by unsetting CDPATH or
creating a SHELL_SRC_PATH (/c) and a APP_SRC_PATH (c:/).  The interesting
thing is that B20.1 didn't exhibit the problem.  How compatible should 1.1.4
be with B20.1?

I'm under the impression that B20.1 is obsolete and that Cygnus (or at least
the cygwin developers) would prefer people using 1.1.x.  Is that true or
should we wait until 2.0?

Thanks!
- Erik
