Hi !
As I know (maybe I 'm wrong) we avoid in Cygwin to utilize low level device 
drivers. It is obvious that access to I/O ports require specjal Widows device 
driver but seems to be relatively simple in use only under versions of NT 
which do not require system rebooting after such driver installation (XP for 
example).  From this reason I do not think it may be placed in Cygwin 
distribution.
