sdesc: "IPC support for cygwin"
ldesc: "CygIPC provides a library, headers, and a daemon that can
be used to provide IPC services for cygwin.  It is, however, slated
to become obsolete once the cygserver is complete (cygserver is a
similar library and daemon that will be a built-in part of the main
cygwin DLL)."
