Send the tarball directly to me, David.  I'll incorporate it in the next 
release.

I'm also planning to refactor into a 'one Makefile.am to rule them all' 
build -- but keeding separate programs in their (current) separate 
subdirectories (cf "Recursive Make Considered Harmful").  This will 
require yet more changes to the HOW-TO cygutils doco...

The last I heard from Karsten was on 4/13.  He was planning to offer a 
bare-bones ksh package and a separate ksh-utils package.  He was also 
going to create a ksh-accel and ksh-devel package (for those ksh-speedup 
builtins) but had decided NOT to provide those via setup, at least at first.

Karsten's usual modus operandi is to pop up, ask a few questions, and 
then go away (and not bother the list) while he solves problems or 
coordinates with the U/Win folks.  So I wouldn't worry -- but I've CC: 
Karsten on this message...

Karsten: PING?
