Updated: clisp-2.48-1 for cygwin [1.7]

I've released the new upstream clisp-2.48 plus the subpackages
clisp-clx, clisp-gtk2 and the experimental clisp-gdi for cygwin.

clisp-gtk2 was re-added and includes now also dbus.
clisp-gdi is a modern package (case-sensitive and case-inverted),
and now hosted at http://code.google.com/p/clisp-gdi/
Depends on libsigsegv1 with Eric Blake's fixes for the SEH chain corruption.
No jit, no multithreading.

Release focus:
bugfixes and enhancements

./configure --fsstnd=redhat --with-ffcall \
   --with-module=rawsock --with-module=dirkey --with-module=wildcard \
   --with-module=bindings/win32 \
   --with-module=berkeley-db --with-module=pcre --with-module=postgresql\
   --with-module=fastcgi --with-module=libsvm --with-module=gdbm \
   --with-module=zlib --with-module=clx/new-clx --with-module=gtk2 \
   --with-module=dbus \
   --with-module=gdi --prefix=/usr --cbc build
Cygwin Changes:
2.48-1 (for 1.7)
* re-enabled gtk2
* added dbus to -gtk2 package
* added wildcard module to full
* gdi fixes and new functions, still alpha. See 
http://code.google.com/p/clisp-gdi/
* minor modprep and build patches added

[1.7] Updated: cygwin-1.7.0-56

I have uploaded a new Cygwin 1.7 test release, 1.7.0-56.

This fixes the bug introduced in -53 and -54 which resulted in various
problems execing programs as seen here:

http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-07/msg01057.html
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-07/msg01060.html
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-08/msg00019.html

What's new since 1.7.0-52
=========================

- Recognize non-NTFS remote filesystems which report to be NTFS as
  "cifs" filesystems and avoid to call potentially unsupported NT call
  in readdir().
  http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-06/msg01008.html

- Made process startup slightly faster.

Bugfixes:
=========

- Don't just return EBUSY when trying to remove shared files on an NFS
  share.  Rather, really try to remove them first.
  http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-07/msg00872.html

- Fix a problem with text mode processing.

- Fix a typo in setlocale() which made the GBK charset disfunctional.

[1.7] Updated: csih-0.9.1-1

csih (cygwin-service-installation-helper) provides a library
of shell functions that can be used by other cygwin packages
that provide servers and daemons. It can assist in various
service installation tasks, such as:

* identifying the underlying Windows OS
* detecting whether a "privileged user" exists and what its
  name is (that is, a user account with enhanced privileges
  necessary for some services)
* creating a privileged user if one doesn't already exist
  (assuming the caller has permissions to create new users)
* creating "normal" users
* obtaining the (localized) name of well known accounts
  (Guest, Administrator)

It is currently used by inetutils(iu-config, syslogd-config),
openssh (ssh-host-config, ssh-user-config), sspi(sspi-config),
sysvinit(init-config), and various others.  csih should not be
used directly; instead, config scripts like the ones mentioned
above should 'source' the csih script, and then use the
functions provided.

This is bugfix release. It is specific for cygwin-1.7,
and will not operate correctly if installed under cygwin-1.5.
For legacy cygwin installations, use csih-0.2.x. As cygwin-1.7
requires WinNT or better, csih-0.9.x will also report an error
if used on legacy (Win9x) systems.

Updated: p7zip-9.04-1

p7zip is the Unix port of 7-Zip, a file archiver that archives
with very high compression ratios.

p7zip provides /usr/bin/7zr, a standalone minimal version of the
7-zip tool that only handles 7z archives. It also provides
/usr/bin/7za, a statically-linked application that supports packing
and unpacking 7z, zip, gzip, bzip2, and tar archives.  Additionally,
it provides /usr/bin/7z, a module-based application that supports
the full set of 7-zip compression formats:
  pack/unpack: 7z, zip, gzip, bzip2, xz, tar
  unpacking:   arj, cab, chm, cpio, dmg, hfs, lzh, lzma, wim, xar, z
               installer formats: nsis, deb, rpm, msi
               filesystem images: udf, iso, ntfs, fat, vhd, mbr
The modules used by 7z are located in /usr/lib/p7zip/.

RAR unpacking support is NOT provided, as the UnRAR license is not
OSI-approved and is incompatible with cygwin. You are free to download
the source package and rebuild p7zip *for your own personal use* as
long as you do not distribute the resulting binary, if you need RAR
unpacking support.

[[ compiled using gcc-3.4.4-999 and g++-3.4.4-999 ]]

This will most likely be the final p7zip update for the
cygwin-1.5 distribution; future development will continue
with p7zip-9.04-10 for cygwin-1.7.

CHANGES (since 4.65-1)
========================
* update to latest release

[1.7] Updated: zip-3.0-11

Zip is an open-source, command-line alternative to other zip-format
archives such as WinZip, etc.  zip-3.0 is the latest release from
Info-Zip, http://www.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/Zip.html.

This is a packaging bugfix and feature release. It supports large
files (> 2GiB) and unicode file names.

This release is specific to cygwin-1.7 -- there is no corresponding
release for cygwin-1.5 because (a) the cygwin-1.5 previous release did
not have the packaging bug, and (b) cygwin-1.5 doesn't support the
facilities needed for the new features.

[[ compiled using gcc-3.4.4-999 ]]

CHANGES (since 3.0-10)
========================
o Fix packaging bug where executables were missing '.exe'
o Enable unicode file name support. This is an experimental
  feature, and requires unzip-6.0 or better to unpack.
o Use custom build of bzip2 library to enable bzip2 compression
  within zip files (enables better error messages).

Upstream changes (e.g. New for 3.0)
========================
o Large files. Greater than 2GB total; individual files > 2GB, 
  and more than 64k files in a single archive.
o Multi-volume. Supported via "split" archives, but not "spanned"
  archives. See /usr/share/doc/zip/README.
o Unicode.
o Better command line options. Long option names, and option

Info-Zip, http://www.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/UnZip.html.

This is a major feature release. It supports large files (> 2GiB)
and unicode file names.

This release is specific to cygwin-1.7.  There is no corresponding
cygwin-1.5 release.

[[ compiled using gcc-3.4.4-999 ]]

CHANGES (since 5.52-10)
========================
o Update to latest release. Upstream changes detailed below.
o Enable unicode file name support. This is an experimental
  feature, and requires zip-3.0-11 or better to create.
o Enable bzip2 decompression (Using custom build of bzip2
  library for better error messages).
o Bring in debian patches from (sid) 6.0-1

Upstream changes (e.g. New for 6.0)
========================
o UnZip 6.0 finally supports nowadays "large" files of sizes > 2 GiB!
o This is the first release containing support for the PKWARE Zip64
  enhancements.
o Major changes are:
   - Support PKWARE ZIP64 extensions, allowing Zip archives and Zip archive
     entries larger than 4 GiBytes and more than 65536 entries within a single
     Zip archive. This support is currently only available for Unix,

[1.7] Updated: {emacs,emacs-X11,emacs-el}-23.1-10

New releases of the emacs, emacs-X11, and emacs-el packages, 23.1-10,
are now available for those testing cygwin 1.7, leaving 21.2-13 as
previous.

CYGWIN NEWS
===========
There is a known bug in the cygwin build of emacs, which affects emacs
functions like display-time.  See /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/emacs.README for
details and a simple workaround.

Install the emacs-X11 package if you want to use the X11 GUI.  You can
then type 'emacs&' in an xterm window, and emacs will start in a new window.

If you run emacs in the cygwin console, be sure that your CYGWIN
environment variable (http://cygwin.com/1.7/cygwin-ug-net/setup-env.html)
contains tty.  See /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/emacs.README for further advice
about running emacs in terminal windows.

With this release, the command to run emacs is 'emacs' or
'/usr/bin/emacs'.  This will run, via symbolic links, either
/usr/bin/emacs-X11.exe or /usr/bin/emacs-nox.exe, depending on whether
or not you have installed the emacs-X11 package.  The X11 version works
in terminal windows as well as under X.

NEWS
====
This is a major new upstream release.  See

       http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/

[1.7] Updated: {libarchive/libarchive2/libarchive-devel/bsdtar/bsdcpio}-2.7.1-10

Libarchive is a programming library that can create and read several
different streaming archive formats, including most popular tar
variants and several cpio formats. It can also write shar archives and
read ISO9660 CDROM images. The bsdtar program is an implementation of
tar(1) that is built on top of libarchive.

Routine update to latest official release.

[[ compiled using gcc-3.4.4-999 ]]

This release is specific for cygwin-1.7.  It differs in one significant
aspect from the simultaneously-released libarchive-2.7.1-1 for
cygwin-1.5: this version supports extended attributes, because it was
compiled against the new cygwin-1.7 kernel which provides the necessary
facilities.

As usual, this package also differs in various trivial ways from the
cygwin-1.5 package: the README references cygport-0.9.8.1 and
cygwin-1.7.0-51, and the /usr/share/doc/ layout is influenced by the
cygport changes between 0.4.x and 0.9.x.
