Re: rebaseall (temporary?) patch

Thanks for the patch, but I'm leaning towards a simpler solution:
rebaseall will verify only ash is running and exit if other Cygwin
processes are running unless an override option (e.g., "-f") is
supplied.


So, anyone who installs rebase will also need to install bash.  That
seems unfortunate to me.  It means we can never deprecate ash.

Perhaps it would make sense to have a special bash.exe installed in /usr/sbin/ that is statically linked, for all dependencies other than cygwin1.dll -- and THAT is the thing that /usr/bin/sh.exe is a copy/symlink/hardlink/whatever of?
