Hi,
I recently seem to be leaving nul files around my file system
which I cannot delete from Cyg or Win
Hilfe mich!

use strict;
use Data::Dumper;
die This program is only useful on Cygwin.\n
unless ($^O eq cygwin);
my $filename = shift;
$filename =~ s(/nul$)()i;
$filename = qx(realpath $filename); chomp

While it's not hard to delete the rouge nul files, it is a recent change
to cygwin that allows them to be created at all.

1.5.10 changed so Cygwin no longer recognizes windows special
