Cool, thanks.
While we're talking about coreutils, it would be a good idea to use the
latest Cygwin from CVS when testing coreutils further(*). cp baild out
on me because it used a NULL pathname in calls to futimesat, which I'd
consider a bug in coreutils, but the Linux man page gives away that this
is a GLIBC extension. I fixed that in CVS so futimesat can now do its
job (hopefully) correctly withe NULL pathname as well.
However, here's a question: Should coreutils really use futimesat at
all when futimes and utimensat are available? Isn't that sort of a
buglet in coreutils?

off on vacation...
