Hello,
I created a patch for cygwin1.dll which solves a problem with rsync on
cygwin platform, caused by national characters in filenames ("file has 
vanished" error message). Patch, cygwin1.dll and readme available at
http://www.7bulls.com/~nergal/misc/cygwin-ld_utf/

The patch received little testing, but so far it works for me.
I would like to hear comments, especially if someone finds information in
readme.txt incomplete or incorrect.

RW
