[possibly OT?]

I've reorganized the cygutils website, and segregated all of the stuff 
that has been made irrelevant or obsolete by advances in the official 
cygwin distribution.  I've consolidated all of the packages that are 
still relevant on the main page, for easier access.  And I've removed 
the tarballs for all of the obsolete packages -- but the web pages are 
still there for historical interest.  Attempts to access the obsolete 
stuff in their old locations will be redirected to the OBSOLETE area.

See:

http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/OBSOLETE/

So what's still relevant?  Well, the complete list follows, but some of 
those items may be old or out of date.  But, if a cygutils offering has 
NOT been superseded by an official cygwin package, then I didn't move it 
to the OBSOLETE section -- even if the cygutils offering hasn't been 
updated since the early 1.1.x days...

STUFF PEOPLE STILL CARE ABOUT:
   consize
   run
   dll-stuff
   cygipc

FULL LIST:

bashprompt
    Fancy schmancy prompts

cmd-reactos
    An snapshot of an open-source clone of the NT/2K cmd shell for Win9x

consize
    A scrollbuffer in Win9x/Me? It's true!

cygipc-1.11
    Deprecated! Will soon be superseded by "the cygwin daemon", a new 
native component of the cygwin distribution.

dll-stuff
   Examples for building DLLs using cygwin tools

db-2.7.7
   An old port of Sleepycat's Berkeley Database

misc-0.9.4
    This has been renamed "cygutils-package" and is now officially 
included in the cygwin dist as "cygutils".  Perhaps this version, with 
the old 'misc' name, should be moved to OBSOLETE.  I dunno; I probably 
made a few mistakes in this massive reorg...

msql-2.0.4.1
    An old port of the msql database

mysql-clientlib
    An old version of the mysql client library

perl-contrib
    Various useful contributions to the world of perl/cygwin

rpm-3.0.3
    An old buggy port of RPM

run
    Avoid console windows with cygwin apps
