Good call!

bash$ cygcheck rm
Found: P:\Bin\rm.exe
Found: c:\cygwin\bin\rm.exe
Found: c:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK\Bin\rm.exe
P:\Bin\rm.exe
   C:\WINNT\System32\MSVCRT.dll
     C:\WINNT\System32\KERNEL32.dll
       C:\WINNT\System32\NTDLL.DLL

Use -h to see help about each section

bash$ rm /?
Microsoft File Removal Utility.  Version rmj.0rmm.00rup
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corp 1987-98. All rights reserved.

Usage: RM [/help] [/ikft] [/x [/d]] [/r dir] files
     /help  invoke Quick Help for this utility
     /i     inquire of user for each file for permission to remove
     /k     keep read only files, no prompting to remove them
     /r dir recurse into subdirectories
     /f     force delete of read only files without prompting
     /t     attempt to take ownership of file if delete fails
     /x     dont save deleted files in deleted subdirectory
     /d     delay until next reboot.


Boy, that's retarded...I didn't expect Microsoft to ship their
own 'rm' with their platform SDK. :)

Thanks!
