For example, I'm currently porting Apache 1.3.1. This stuff opens a load of security holes. Instead of accommodating these atrocities in every application, they should be handled once in the Cygwin32 DLL.

You can thank the Windows/DOS world for that one. I'm not sure there will be a realistic and acceptable way to make files that end with a dot distinct in Cygwin32... - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
