The default UI language returned by GetUserDefaultUILanguage does not
necessarily reflect what the user really wants. E. g., the system could
be en_US, but the desired language is en_CA, without having a CA langpack
installed.
Changing the settings under "Languages" and changing the keyboard layout
is only affecting the so-called "Input language", while what's returned
by GetUserDefaultUILanguage is the "Display language". Changing the
latter requires installing MUI langpacks.
Thus, we introduce a way to fetch the "Input language" using the -i or
--input option.
Also clean up documentation of locale(1).

Improve the description of Cygwin ldd utility to give a bit more detail
about how it does what it does
Also add a security warning (modelled after the one in the Linux manpage)
that it may end up executing the file it is applied to.

Cygwin_props have been invented to allow switching off the unique
installation keys in the first place, supposedly for debugging.
This never really was a good idea, after all we *want* the installations
to be independent and there's no good reason to break that, not even
for debugging purposes.
Other than that, cygwin_props were meant to be used for some other global
settings which never took place. There's just no good reason to tweak
the DLL binary invisibly where a setting could be done in a file or the
environment.
This patch removes the cygwin_props entirely, including the related
settings in cygcheck.
cygwin:
* cygprops.h: Remove file.
* globals.cc (cygwin_props): Remove.
* cygheap.cc (init_cygheap::init_installation_root): Drop removing
installation key.
utils:
* cygcheck.cc: Drop including cygprops.h. Remove now unused option
values.
(unique_object_name_opt): Remove.
(handle_unique_object_name): Remove function.
(usage): Remove text for unique-object-names options.
(longopts): Remove unique-object-names options.
(main): Drop handling unique-object-names options.
doc:
* utils.xml (cygcheck): Remove text for unique-object-names options.

* mount.cc (mount_info::from_fstab_line): Support mounting the current
user's temp folder as /tmp/. This is particularly useful a feature
when Cygwin's own files are write-protected.
* pathnames.xml: document the new usertemp file system type
Detailed explanation:
In the context of Windows, there is a per-user directory for temporary
files, by default specified via the environment variable %TEMP%. Let's
allow to use that directory for our /tmp/ directory.
With this patch, we introduce the special filesystem type "usertemp":
By specifying
none /tmp usertemp binary,posix=0 0 0
in /etc/fstab, the /tmp/ directory gets auto-mounted to the directory
specified by the %TEMP% variable.
This feature comes handy in particularly in scenarios where the
administrator might want to write-protect the entire Cygwin directory
yet still needs to allow users to write into the /tmp/ directory.
This is the case in the context of Git for Windows, where the
Cygwin (MSys2) root directory lives inside C:\Program Files and hence
/tmp/ would not be writable otherwise.

One more patch. MacType was observed by several users to cause `GPGME:
Invalid crypto engine` failures in MSYS2. See

I also removed two full stops in the sake of consistency.

Note that I haven't tried building the documentation, so I don't know if
the added paragraph breaks anything. Hopefully not.

A user of MSYS2 had non-deterministic segfaults when running simple
command from bash started from cmd. We've isolated the cause to
`C:\Program Files (x86)\Forefront TMG Client\FwcWsp64.dll`. See
<http://sourceforge.net/p/msys2/tickets/212/> for a little more
information.
It seems enough to include the software in BLODA, but if not, sorry for
the unsolicited patch and let's discuss.
