BTW, I hope that rebasing wouldn't require every invocation of

Seriously, you could propose a patch to rebase, which leaves blocked
DLLs alone and only tries to rebase the colliding ones, if any.  Plus a
patch to rebaseall to add a flag
"--don't-test-for-ash-only-just-ignore-what-you-can't-change".  Well, a
single char option might be better...

The rebase sources are available by CVS:

$ cvs -d "pserver:anoncvs@sourceware.org:/cvs/cygwin-apps co rebase

Send patches to the cygwin-apps list.
As I mentioned in cygwin-apps, I think a --backup option of some kind
would be useful so you could restore to a previous state.

Why won't anyone implement my idea????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!

No doubt those last five bangs will mark the tipping point for somebody who's teetering on the edge of volunteering >;)

Unfortunately my semester is about to start and free time will be a luxury for the next four months.
