I've put up a new winsup snapshot for ftp.

This version includes better Windows 98 support -- now we just check
whether we're running NT or not; this makes Win 95/98 behave similarly
for now.  I've also switched to using a global to store the operating
system type since that's more efficient (most processes were calling
get_os_type many times which is a waste).

Also, some other misc fixes.

Wed May 13 16:03:07 1998  Geoffrey Noer  <noer AT cygnus DOT com>

        * dcrt0.cc: declare os_being_run global
        (set_os_type): new static local function that sets os_being_run
        based on results of calling GetVersionEx
        (dll_crt0_1): call set_os_type very early on in Cygwin32 dll
        initialization
        * syscalls.cc (get_os_type): delete
        * uname.cc (uname): use os_being_run instead of get_os_type,
        call GetVersionEx to figure out operating system version numbers,
        handle Windows 98.
        * winsup.h: add win98 to os_type enum, delete get_os_type proto,
        add extern for os_being_run.
        * {dlfcn.cc, fhandler.cc, mmap.cc, net.cc, syscalls.cc, syslog.cc,
        tty.cc}: make all uses of get_os_type use os_being_run instead.
        Have Windows 98 behave like Windows 95 for now by changing all
        tests for win95 to check for not being winNT.

        patch from sos AT prospect DOT com DOT ru (Sergey Okhapkin):
        * sigproc.cc (proc_exists): Process is alive if OpenProcess()
        call fails due to security reasons.

Wed May 13 16:03:07 1998  Geoffrey Noer  <noer AT cygnus DOT com>

        * select.cc: add comments, FIXMEs, respace, delete old
        sockets-only case that was previously commented out.
        (cygwin32_select): in case where handles and sockets are
        set, don't check that always_ready_used is zero (that case is
        covered before).
        * syscalls.cc: delete unused file_queue struct.

        Throughout Cygwin replace use of "sa" SECURITY_ATTRIBUTE variables
        with appropriate global variables.
        * shared.cc (shared_init): Initialize global security attribute
        variables for use in various places around cygwin.
        * fork.cc (fork_init): Remove. Functionality replaced by above.
        * dcrt0.cc (dll_crt0_1): Remove obsolete fork_init() call.

        patch from sos AT prospect DOT com DOT ru (Sergey Okhapkin):
        * tty.cc (create_tty_master): Fill in ut_host utmp field with
        local host name instead of "local" to avoid "who" command timeouts.
