Updated: libfakesu 1.2.0


Version 1.2.0-0 of "libfakesu" has been uploaded.

This library simulates the Unix root user. It is meant to make porting
Unix programs to Cygwin easier. Many Unix daemon programs, such as
Apache, Sendmail and Procmail, start up as root but change to an
unprivileged user ID.
By including this library, any Cygwin super-user (member of the
'Administrators' group) will be represented with user id '0' to
your program.

Version 1.2.0
* added the following functions: fstatat
* addedd the /usr/bin/fakesu command for finding occurrances of the uid
  functions implemented in libfakesu
* split fakesu.h into separate include files, so patching can be
  automated with sed.
