Suggestion for run (with patch)

["Adye, TJ \(Tim\)" <T dot J dot Adye at rl dot ac dot uk>]

Hi Alexander,

For many years I've continued to use Chuck Wilson's old run-1.1.4
because it included a version that was linked without Cygwin
(run-native.exe, built with VC). Although it doesn't have all the
features of the Cygwin version (eg. it can't translate Cygwin mount
points), it does allow one to start applications without needing
cygwin1.dll in the path. I know that's often not much of an issue (at
least if run.exe is in C:\cygwin\bin), but it is sometimes handy to have
a stand-alone version.

The latest version of run, run-1.1.10-1 included in the Cygwin setup,
has some nice improvements (and is easier to find than the old
run-1.1.4!). I have made some small fixes to allow the new version to
also build run-native.exe, with gcc -mno-cygwin (it also builds the
Cygwin run.exe as before). Would you consider adopting this improvement,
in the attached patch (see the top for build instructions)? You might
have a better idea for where the non-Cygwin version should go - I just
put it in /usr/bin/run-native.exe.

Thanks,
Tim.
