I find cygstart useful generally, but ShellExecute/Ex has more options
than cygstart exposes.
In particular, I'd like to be able to write a script that starts an
action and waits for it to complete, and then perform another action.
This means that I don't want cygstart to return until the process it has
started exits (modulo MDI etc).
ShellExecuteEx can return the process handle, which can then be waited
on.
I've written a patch against cygutils-1.3.2-1 that implements this
functionality via a new "-w | --wait" argument.
I've attached the patch for review. Is there any other place I should be
posting to submit this patch?
