Dear all,

I've started using cygwin relatively recently, and I have cygutils
1.3.2-1 installed. This version of cygutils does not appear to include
the rename utility: if, at a cygwin prompt, I type "rename", I receive
the message, "bash: rename: command not found".

My questions are:

1) Was the rename utility removed from cygutils at some point between
version 1.2.6-1 and 1.3.2-1, or is my version of cygutils somehow
corrupt?
2) If it was removed, why, and is there some other way I can obtain
the rename utility under cygwin? (NB. please don't just suggest I use
"for i in *; do mv ${i} ${i#foo}; done", etc. - I'm asking
specifically for the rename *utility*, not a rename capability.)

Many thanks in advance,

Sam
