Rebaseall is subject to "growing pains".  In addition to the 500-some
packages in the distro, I have my Cygwin Ports repository installed as
well, which makes for a total of almost 1300 binary packages.

When I have to run rebase from the distro, I get the following error:

gzip: Argument list too long

This is because of the command "gzip -d -c /etc/setup/*.lst.gz".
Instead, that part could work like the following:

********************************************************************

This # Set temp file
TmpFile="$TmpDir/rebase.lst"
rm -f $TmpFile

# Create rebase list
for f in /etc/setup/*.lst.gz
do
gzip -d -c $f | grep -E "($Suffixes)\$" | \
    sed -e '/cygwin1.dll$/d' -e 's/^/\//' >>"$TmpFile" ;
done

*********************************************************************

The for,do,done loop isn't limited by argument length, so this works.
