The "fix Cygwin so it handles long paths properly" discussion continued on the
cygwin dev lists:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.os.cygwin.patches/1569 (and follow-ups)
and
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-11/msg00625.html (and follow-ups)
but appeared to stall on a combination of technical (worries about breaking
existing code, possible gcc changes required) and legal/process (no copyright
assignment from author) issues.
There was another brief sighting on gnu-arch-users: see
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnu-arch-users/2003-12/msg00007.html (and
follow-ups). But it isn't a particularly enlightening exchange...
Judging from Chris Faylor's reply in
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.cygwin.patches/2576 the change (or a
re-write of it to avoid copyright issues) still hasn't made it to mainline
cygwin as of March this year.
Perhaps Rob Collins can elaborate as to the current status?
