It's ready for a given value of ready.  I'm just looking for certain
details which needs to be clarified before the stuff can be released.

The existing code is in almost all developer snapshots of the last few
months.  Just try the last one from http://cygwin.com/snapshots/ and
read my preliminary documentation attached to this mail again (and
which, incidentally, is now in the offical docs in the repo as well).

Dunno.  It *might* be a good alternative to '+'.  Personally I just
dislike that a '@' is a less "light" character and it might give a wrong
idea.  Email:  name AT domain.  Cygwin account:  domain AT name.
