usually pretty good.

Updated: diffutils-2.8.7-1

I've made a new version of diffutils available for installation.
Diffutils is the GNU collectionof diff utilities including: diff, cmp,
diff3, and sdiff.

This is a refresh from the current "alpha" release available at
alpha.gnu.org.  There are no cygwin-specific changes that I'm aware of,
although the recently reported problem with "--tabsize" seems to be
corrected in this release.  This fix was the primary reason for this
release.

the http://cygwin.com/ web page.  This downloads setup.exe to your
system.  Then, run setup and answer all of the questions.

Changes in 1.3.2-28:

  'ftp' user entry in /etc/passwd and real NT user account behind it
  still required.

			  IMPORTANT NOTE:

- When updating inetutils, take care that inetd.exe and subsequent
  processes don't run anymore.

Changes in release 0.24.6:
* SECURITY (CVE CAN-2004-0398): Fix sscanf overflow in ne_rfc1036_parse,
 thanks to Stefan Esser.
