Release: mintty 2.0.1

Sun Jul 5 17:02:00 GMT 2015

Apologies for the first release, 2.0.1-0, which for some obscure reasons 
did not include the actual version.
The new package 2.0.1-1 is fixed.
@cygwin: Please drop 2.0.1-0 in the repository, 1.1.3 (32bit)/1.2beta 
(64bit) should be previous versions.
There is a problem with Alt-F2 which I shall fix soon. As a workaround, 
the Start/Desktop shortcut could be changed from the command shortcut:
C:\cygwin\bin\mintty.exe -i /Cygwin-Terminal.ico -
to a full form like
C:\cygwin\bin\mintty.exe -i /Cygwin-Terminal.ico -e /bin/bash
