Leave it as-is and have it rely on Chuck's new cygutils without
readlink. These packages, and the empty *utils ones, will have to all
be uploaded at the same time to avoid installation issues. (There will
probably be some anyway, users downloading and reinstalling old versions
and wondering what happened. C'est la vie.)

            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This is fine for testing, but don't forget to change it to include the empty
obsoleted packages for the final version.
