So I will delete the following:

I will include the fileutils patches except the ones to src/copy.c and
lib/regex.c since they have no apparent effect.
One final question: for now do I rename usr/bin/readlink.exe to
usr/bin/corereadlink.exe (ditto for [...]/man1/readlink.1.gz) or do I
leave them as is?
Leave it as-is and have it rely on Chuck's new cygutils without
readlink. These packages, and the empty *utils ones, will have to all
be uploaded at the same time to avoid installation issues. (There will
probably be some anyway, users downloading and reinstalling old versions
and wondering what happened. C'est la vie.)
Not that simple, unfortunately. Anyone installing coreutils first and
then installing the new version of cygutils (sans readlink) will have to
reinstall coreutils to get readlink back... Maybe just putting a note in
the announcement would suffice, but somehow I doubt it...
BTW I have updated the setup.hint file:

sdesc: "Basic file, shell and text manipulation utilities."
ldesc: "The GNU Core Utilities are the basic file, shell and text manipulation

expected to exist on every operating system. Previously these utilities were
offered as three individual sets of GNU utilities, fileutils, shellutils, and

I believe the official name is "sh-utils"...
