Seriously, you could propose a patch to rebase, which leaves blocked
DLLs alone and only tries to rebase the colliding ones, if any. Plus a
patch to rebaseall to add a flag
"--don't-test-for-ash-only-just-ignore-what-you-can't-change". Well, a
single char option might be better...
The rebase sources are available by CVS:
$ cvs -d "pserver:anoncvs@sourceware.org:/cvs/cygwin-apps co rebase
Send patches to the cygwin-apps list.
