I think that no one answered your original question. We are not interested
in hosting your project at sourceware.org and discussion of it in this
mailing list is not really on-topic for the Cywgin list. The Cygwin
mailing list is for discussion about the cygwin release that is hosted
at the cygwin web site.
Feel free to send a follow-up message with a pointer to the mailing list
where you will be continuing any discussion about this topic. I would
appreciate it if further discussion was directed there.
