I tried compiling coreutils-5.2.0 and I didn't see many problems with
that. Another problem I see is that coreutils will cause conflicts
with other packages: textutils, sh-utils and fileutils. Obviously
coreutils is intended to replace these packages so these packages
would need to be withdrawn if coreutils was included with cygwin.
Feel free to ignore this posting.
I didn't search the archives for coreutils before sending this message
(sorry). I was mainly looking for confirmation that coreutils was
intended to replace all three of the *utils packages and it's obvious
from the archives that this is the case.
I'll research the archives more thoroughly before posting about
coreutils again.
