I've no objection. But would somebody PLEASE tell me what the HELL
we're waiting for with respect to the 64bit key_t change in newlib?
I've had a new release of cygipc waiting for months, predicated on that
change, which I THOUGHT would happen "real soon".
Now, I have to revert all of that (I didn't make a branch point at the
time -- why bother? the change was "imminent") before I release any
other updates.
