Could anyone send me patch for cygwin (to enable MAX_PATH above 260 
chars)? savannah.gnu.org is closed, so I can't get access to mail list 
archive and find it there :((

btw, which tools do I need to rebuild with long path support to make tla 
fully working? (tar, gzip and ...?)

btw2, if anyone could send compiled cygwin (and other tools) with long 
path support I’ll be very happy :)


Thanks,
