Actually, I think THIS functionality, as well as the ability to set the date field of a PE object as recently mentioned on the gcc list, is a better fit for objdump. While peflags /can/ be used to "process" a single file via manual use, it's really designed for "SIMD" operation: do X to every Y in some large list. In fact, if it weren't for that ability, I'd have to agree with cgf that all of peflags' functionality really belongs in objdump and not in a separate tool at all. (Well, that, and it fits the mandate of the rebase package: "oops, something screwy about windows means we must (do something) to a lot of binaries after they have been installed") However, PTC...but peflags is, itself, currently just a large patch to the rebase package.
