That'd be great. I believe i can try to step in as cygwin gcc
maintainer (at least i currently do have both time and willingness for
that). Having cvs branch or separate repo would make things easier. I
certainly lost a track for cygwin- and mingw-specific patches some
time ago.

Btw, Chris, some time ago there was a discussion of would be
cygisolate or cygjail of cyg-some-other-fancy-name utility to allow
several independent "cygwins" running simultaneously on the same
machine. As long as you've added appropriate cygwin_internal hooks, i
suppose you have this utility. If it's so, would you mind putting it
winsup/utils ? Using it would certainly make testing of new packages
more robust.
