Oops, didn't want to offend anyone, maybe my ask for help was not in the
right place as i posted it, so anyone read it...

We were just wondering, not why there is a special package missing, but why 
there is a file in a package missing, that is important to use the locate.exe.

It is just the same, as if i load down findutils, and there is no find.exe 
included...

Doesn't matter anymore, i built it for myself and now i'm happy.

You may take my package of binaries to include it, but i think it is not 
conform to what i read at the faq's.

At this moment, i'm building findutils-4.1.6, with internationalization and
localization included, i hope i could offer it conform to cygwin principels.

See you when i'm ready...

Gerrit
