Sounds good to me.  The upcoming bash-3.0-5 now includes
/etc/preremove/bash-manifest.lst, and attached is a patch to g-b-s
to make it easier to build one (just add CYGWIN-PATCHES/manifest.lst).
I guess I should also update cygwin.com/setup.html - where is that
stored in CVS?

	* templates/generic-build-script (options): Add almostall,
	help, version.
	(help, version): New functions.
