newlib/winsup/cygwin/release/1.7.33

What's new:
-----------

- Cygwin can now generate passwd/group entries directly from Windows
  user databases (local SAM or Active Directory), thus allowing to run
  Cygwin without having to create /etc/passwd and /etc/group files.
  Introduce /etc/nsswitch.conf file to configure passwd/group handling.

  For bordercase which require to use /etc/passwd and /etc/group files,
  change mkpasswd/mkgroup to generate passwd/group entries compatible
  with the entries read from SAM/AD.

- Add -b/--remove-all option to setfacl to reduce the ACL to only the
  entries representing POSIX permission bits.

- /proc/cygdrive is a new symlink pointing to the current cygdrive prefix.
  This can be utilized in scripts to access paths via cygdrive prefix, even
  if the cygdrive prefix has been changed by the user.

- /proc/partitions now prints the windows mount points the device is mounted
  on.  This allows to recognize the underlying Windows devices of the Cygwin
  raw device names.

- New API: quotactl, designed after the Linux/BSD function, but severely
  restricted:  Windows only supports user block quotas on NTFS, no group
  quotas, no inode quotas, no time constraints.

- New APIs: ffsl, ffsll (glibc extensions).

- New API: stime (SVr4).

- Provide Cygwin documentation (PDFs and HTML) for offline usage in
  /usr/share/doc/cygwin-${version}.


What changed:
-------------

- New internal exception handling based on SEH on 64 bit Cygwin.

- Revamp Solaris ACL implementation to more closely work like POSIX ACLs
  are supposed to work.  Finally implement a CLASS_OBJ emulation.  Update
  getfacl(1)/setfacl(1) accordingly.

- When exec'ing applications, check if $PATH exists and is non-empty.  If not,
  add PATH variable with Cygwin installation directory as content to Windows
  environment to allow loading of Cygwin system DLLs.

- Improve various header files for C++- and standards-compliance.

- Doug Lea malloc implementation update from 2.8.3 to the latest 2.8.6.
