I've updated the version of the cygwin DLL in 'latest/cygwin' to
version 1.1.1.

This is *just* an update of the DLL and associated files.  No other
packages are affected.  However, updating the DLL may have positive
effects on things like "bash hanging" problems.  Or not.

A partial, unordered list of what's changed is below.  If anyone who
has submitted changes that are not below wants to chime in, please
feel free.

To update your installation, create an empty directory, cd to it, and
download the latest version of setup.exe from the cygwin/latest
directory at a cygwin mirror site near you.  For a list of sites
go to:

	http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/

and click on "Mirror Sites".

Once you've downloaded setup.exe, you can type:

.\setup -u cygwin

Answer the questions as you did when you first installed cygwin.  This
will then cause only the cygwin package to be updated.

You can also type just "setup cygwin" to always force cygwin to be
downloaded and installed.  The "-u" option causes setup to only download
and install a package if it thinks that something has been updated.
Without the "-u" option the package .tar.gz will always be downloaded
and installed.

Have fun.  And, please, if you have questions don't send them to me
personally.  Send them to cygwin AT sourceware DOT cygnus DOT com.  There is
a team of dedicated professionals standing by in the mailing list
just waiting to answer your questions.

P.S. In case it isn't clear, the "cygwin" in the "setup cygwin" above is
just a generic package name.  You can use a similar syntax to download
any package.

So, for instance:

setup -u fileutils

would currently be a "no-op" since the fileutils package has not
changed recently.

setup fileutils

would, on the other hand, download whatever version of fileutils
is in the latest/fileutils directory and install it whereever
you specified.
