Interesting, but irrelevant, since Cygwin doesn’t have that collision. Also, not all of the pages mentioned have such a collision on Linux. opendir and fnmatch, for two. I don’t think Cygwin needs to replicate every Linux imperfection. It’s okay if it manages to improve on some things, occasionally. :) > I see nothing to fix in either package. Would moving 3p in front of 3 be such a horrible change? I mean, how often does someone want the gawk module pages anyway, as compared to the POSIX pages they shadow? I expect 3 is in front of 3p for Linux because Linux has a separate set of non-POSIX pages. But Cygwin doesn’t, and isn’t likely to, so 3p should be preferred.
