Corinna,

While we're at it, two more things (see below).

This has bitten me in the past, so I'm going to make a suggestion: why not
specify each flag in opts on a separate line, e.g.,

char *opts = "I:"
	"R:"
	"S:"
	"E:"
	"p:"
	"a:"
	"c:"
	"e:"
	"d:"
	"f:"
	"o"
	"u:"
	"w:"
	"t:"
	"s:"
	"y:"
	"0:"
	"1:"
	"2:"
	"i"
	"h"
	"v";

instead of

char *opts = "I:R:S:E:p:a:c:e:d:f:ou:w:t:s:y:0:1:2:ihv";

I know it doesn't look quite as compact (and consumes 2 extra bytes per
option -- the TAB and the NL), but it will ease patching considerably.

And another thing, I noticed there were some string constants in
cygrunsrv.h that had to be kept in sync with the numeric ones.  That kinda
rattled my sense of elegance (however much I have of it), so here's a
small patch (attached)...
	Igor
==============================================================================
2003-05-09  Igor Pechtchanski  <pechtcha AT cs DOT nyu DOT edu>

	* cygrunsrv.h: (STRINGIFY) New macro.
	(STRINGIFY_) New helper macro.
	(MAX_ENV_STR, MAX_DEPS_STR) Fix redundant string
	constants.
