Well, in this case the "message board ethics" are the correct response.
Going to the source for help makes a lot of sense.  The cygwin mailing
list has nothing to do with these packages.  They are apparently
maintained by rebum AT cygwin DOT cjb DOT net .

I imagine that he has a lot more of a clue as to what they do and what
problems there are than random people on this mailing list.
