[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: stunnel-4.20-2

[Schulman dot Andrew at epamail dot epa dot gov]

A new version of the stunnel package is available in the Cygwin
distribution.  stunnel is a program that allows you to encrypt arbitrary
TCP connections inside SSL (Secure Sockets Layer).  stunnel can allow
you to secure non-SSL aware daemons and protocols (like POP, IMAP, LDAP,
etc) by having stunnel provide the encryption, requiring no changes to
the daemon's code.

Changes in version 4.20-2, since 4.20-1:
* corrected a wrong path to stunnel in /usr/bin/stunnel3, a
compatibility script for running stunnel v4 with v3 syntax.

Changes in version 4.20-1, since 4.14-2:
* updated to version 4.20; see /usr/share/doc/stunnel-4.20/ChangeLog for
a list of upstream changes
* moved stunnel executable from /usr/sbin to /usr/bin, to comply with
the Linux Filesystem Hierarchy Standard
* added cygstunnel.dll
* fixed locations of fr and pl man pages
* changed to cygport build method
* new Cygwin maintainer

Please note that, although libstunnel (i.e. cygstunnel.dll) is included
in this package, its use is undocumented AFAICT and so I haven't tried
to test it.  I guess that its purpose is to provide transparent proxy
support via stunnel by something like LD_PRELOAD=libstunnel.dll, but I
don't really know how or if it works.  Test reports are welcome on the
cygwin list, but questions and discussion might better be directed to
the stunnel-users list.
