I ran out of time to look at doing this.  I had started looking at the 
ezmlm users admin manual and just simply didn't have time to move it 
further.  Chris had set up a mingw-dvlpr list for Keith and I to play 
with.  As far as the CVS migration you speak of, mingw runtime and 
w32api have always been a part of Cygwin since their creation.  As far 
as the files themselves Chris has given us ftp access and an htdocs 
area.  The problem of course is the management of the move.

I do not have time to be involved with the move.  Greg are you offering 
your time to coordinate this effort, if yes I can support this?  If we 
could get a MySql DB on sourceware.org we could use Drupal with its 
project module to control the bugs, etc for each package we offer.
