Understood.

Agreed.

I would like to go with this approach except rewrite rebaseall as a
Cygwin C program with the Cygwin DLL as its only dynamic dependency.
However, given my limited free time, it may be a while before I can
develop a C-based rebaseall.  So, what is the best short-term solution?
Should I just release a new package with the following patch:

applied?

Thanks,
Jason
