Well, since you asked (indirectly), I'll give my opinion:

There have been several instances when I wanted to try to fix some part 
of Cygwin myself.  The biggest problem I have is my extreme laziness.  I 
wish I could just download the 'src' package, configure, make.

Could the w32api source be bundled into the source package so we(the 
royal we) don't have to download some arbitrary version of w32api, and 
then do some renaming and moving?
