On 23 Jul, I wrote:
I was going to qualify this with `when ntsec is defined in CYGWIN'
It's not easy to find out if ntsec is turned on, is it? When I wrote the above, I was thinking "ntsec turned on" means $CYGWIN includes the word "ntsec".
But I think I've just realised that isn't true, is it?
If it's pre Cygwin 1.3.something-like-18, then it's on if and only if ntsec is in $CYGWIN, but if it's after, it's on unless $CYGWIN includes nontsec. So the actual test you'd have to make would be something like what I've written here (read "~" as "includes"):
version < 1.3.18 then $CYGWIN ~ \<ntsec else !( $CYGWIN ~ nontsec )
The version where ntsec was turned on by default was 1.3.13-1. See the announcement here:
