Hi

A new version of 'man' has been uploaded to a server near you.


DESCRIPTION:
============
Man, apropos and whatis.


CYGWIN NEWS:
============

 - Switched to latest upstream version
 - Added mingw manual section 
   (see also: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2007-04/msg00023.html and related thread)

Man NEWS
========

- Sections used by makewhatis set via environment variable MANSECT, falling 
  back to man.conf's MANSECT setting as man does (Mike Frysinger).

  on 64 bit platforms (Mike frysinger, flc). 
- Building will now honor pre-existing LDFLAGS if set (Mike Frysinger).
- Updated Italian man pages (Giulio Daprelá).
- Updated Spanish man pages (B. Albiñana, flc).
- Corrected a minor bug in makewhatis' tempdir generation (flc).
- EXPERIMENTAL: support for Plan 9 rc shell lists (Michael Haardt).
- Overdue LSM v4 format compliance (flc).
- Minor corrections and cleanup (flc).
