For once, it's a nice, simple, small patch <g>. Ping?
FWIW, I plan to expand on the [Wrapper executables for programs]
documentation after (assuming) the cross-compile stuff goes in. Some of
that info will be taken from here:
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-01/msg00851.html
The interesting bits start with "But I worry that things", although
there is one misconception; at the time I thought that current gcc used
"old" libtool (2007-03-18). It doesn't -- it uses 2009-09-26). However,
the description of why we use a wrapper exe, and why we eliminated the
wrapper script entirely, and why *WE* have to worry about converting
paths manually from one format to another are all good.
