Thanks! I downloaded the snapshot and played around with the dates and
tags until I had everything matching. BTW, I did use the branch dontuse-21
for the cygwin directory because it matched the snapshot precisely at the
time I ran cvs update. This will change as new updates are checked in, of
course, and require additional time stamps....

It would be nice to have official tags but I assume this has been
discussed in the past and I don't want to start a new discussion.

Thanks,
