In this update: * At startup, Bash will attempt to find a temporary directory by searching the environment variables TMPDIR, TMP, and TEMP in that order. If none of those directories are valid, 'c:/' will be used. * SYSROOT will now always be converted to an absolute path at startup. You shouldn't set SYSROOT to a relative path anyway, but at least now scripts won't mysteriously fail. * Added scripts by Robert van der Boon to the dos directory that will be used to make Bash buildable in a SFN environment. * Fixed an occasional crash with 'cd ./..' when 'PATH_SEPARATOR=:'. This caused a crash when building binutils from the Cygnus Sourceware CVS. I'm also pondering making 'PATH_SEPARATOR=:' the default since Bash is a Unix shell and shell scripts expect PATH to be colon separated. Any thoughts on this?
