Recursive search under CygWin

[Paul Soderlind]

Hi all,

I have noticed that recent CygWin distributions destroy Octave's searach of 
subdirectories (on Win98, but not on NT). I practice, this means that Octave 
cannot find mean.m in stuff/m/statistics/base, but it would work fine if mean.m 
was moved to stuff/m/statistics (DEFAULT_LOADPATH contains stuff/m//).

It is certainly easy enough to circumvent this problem, but it would be 
interesting to understand the reason for it. Any suggestions? What should I say 
to the CygWin people?


Sincerely,


Paul Söderlind
