Somewhat.  

As per your recommendation, I am making byte-size patches.  The first one
replaces all CreateFile calls with cygwin_create_file, which is implemented
as a simple wrapper around CreateFile.  The second does the same for
CreateDirectory.  The third adds the above detailed functionality to both
wrapper functions.

Unfortunately when I had time to work on this, the only source I had on the
machine was 1.5.5-1 and not CVS.  The last time I had the CVS source, it
produced a non-functional cygwin1.dll before I ever touched a line of code.
So, I should probably pull down the CVS version and if it produces a
workable DLL migrate my patches to it before sending patches to you.
