It's an onlist topic.
Because the two things have to happen concurrently. Cygwin has over a
100 packages, of which maybe 40 provide libraries that would need to be
relocated. The mechanism for relocation is quite simple: every package
maintainer repackages their package with the libraries in the new
location.

Exactly.
