I had a little bit of time today and yesterday so I made some build-bustage
fixes to the CVS tree and I finished up a little feature that has been
holding me up from making any kind of release. That little feature I was
working on was embedding an icon in XWin.exe via a compiled Windows resource
file. My initial work with the resource file required that ``windres'' be
run manually to compile the resource file, but the compiled resource file
was automatically linked into the executable. Today I created resource
build rules in cygwin.rules that work both under Cygwin and when cross
compiling. I've been using Cygwin/XFree86 with a little ``X'' icon for over
a month now but I couldn't make any test releases until I either pulled the
icon support out or until I reimplemented it properly.
There is nothing holding me up from making a new test release now, other
than the 100 KB diff that I have to clean up, so I will try to get a test
release out sometime in the next week. Perhaps this will be followed by a
4.2.1 release, but perhaps not.
