7.2.1.3: Bug in Patch Utility

There is a bug in the patch utility provided in Cygwin32 B19. The files modified end up having MS-DOS style line termination. They must have Unix format, so a dos2unix-like command must be used to put them back into Unix format as shown below:

$ dos2unix XYZ
Dos2Unix: Cleaning file XYZ ...

The dos2unix utility may be downloaded from:

ftp://ftp.micros.hensa.ac.uk/platforms/ibm-pc/ms-dos/simtelnet/txtutl/dos2unix.zip

You must change the format of every patched file for the toolset build to work correctly.
