That's right!  I knew you were involved somehow, but couldn't remember 
how.  Of course building the cygwin package, is taking a release, and 
building and packaging it.  Really, building a release is likely simple, 
although likely changed since I last did it, in the sense of the file 
manipulations required, but the hard part comes in doing sufficient 
testing to be convinced that it is a good release.  And there are more 
parts now than last I did it.  I worked only on very focused bug fixes, 
even then.

Could you elaborate?  I'm not sure what this is.

That sounds good.
