Bash patches

["Erik Nolte" <enolte at campuspipeline dot com>]

I realize there is currently no bash maintainer, but how do I propose
patches and to whom do I send them in the interim?

Below are patches to fix:

(1) The backtick (command substitution) CR-LF problem I reported on 26Sep00
under the title "Has CR/LF and cat problem with textutils-2.0 been solved?"
read_comsub() was modified in src/bash/subst.c to convert CR-LF into NL
immediately after the text is read from the command.

(2) The cd/CDPATH erroneous echoing of the path for DOS absolute pathnames.
This was reported on 26Sep00 under the title "Strange cd/CDPATH behavior".
absolute_pathname() was modified in src/bash/general.c to treat
[A-Za-z]:[/\]* as absolute pathnames.

I started with the source at
ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/cygwin/latest/bash/bash-2.04-1-src.tar.gz and
ran the diff as "diff -u -p original-file new-file".
