(Yeah, the newline is missing there, too)

I waited for Cygwin 1.3.13-2 to appear on my mirror yesterday and then 
installed it. I just re-ran Setup.exe and confirmed that my installation is 
up-to-date, at least w.r.t. to the packages available at "mirror.mcs.anl.gov".

Cygcheck -s -v output is attached.

According to the package search utility at <http://cygwin.com/packages/>, 
"cygpath" is a part of the "cygwin" package.

I wonder why I don't have the latest "cygpath?" (Igor has 1.24, I have 
1.21) It's also curious that Chris reported that he checked in the fix the 
same day I reported the problem (August 23rd) and the compile date reported 
by the "cygpath" on my system is Sep. 15, so why doesn't it include the fix?

Could this be an example of there being a program duplicated in multiple 
packages?
