That's why I sent my email in March in the first place. But I really
think having -h for halt is better for a POSIX/Linux-like shutdown.
And "shutdown -h now" will now halt the machine instead of hibernate.
Although I understand they definitely are not the same, it won't leave
the machine turned on. It will be in a "form of off".

A proper announcement is required. The backward compatibility breakage
was the reason I thought about 2.x vs 1.x.

Anything "for free" must be good ;-)

I see the cygport file is in src archive. It has been very long since
I have played with cygport.

And I have not looked at cygwin64, although I use Win7-64. I had no
real need for cygwin64 so far, so I wanted to wait for it to be
officially released. I just ran the setup64.exe found at a nearby
mirror, installed cygport and gcc/g++ and shutdown compiles under 32
and 64 bit.

So back to the question... why not take over? I will read
http://cygwin.com/setup.html thoroughly, create the new packages and
send the ITA any time soon.

You keep the sources in CVS right now. But when I take over, I assume
it is ok I put them at my github.

Regards,
Frank
