Correct.

Current official binutils behavior:
   --disable-auto-import is the default.
   --enable-auto-import turns on the feature, but will print warnings 
whenever the feature is used.

Current cygwin bintuils behavior:
   --enable-auto-import is the default, so the feature is usually 
active.  However, it prints warnings whenever the feature is used.
   --disable-auto-import...turns of the feature

With my patch:
   default behavior: ALMOST the same as current cygwin binutils 
behavior.  auto-import feature is active, but an informational message 
(NOT a warning) is printed whenever the feature is used.
   --enable-auto-import: don't print the informational message/warning.
   --disable-auto-import: turn the feature off...
