I'm willing to set this up. I have always envisioned something like this, as much as I hate the thought of having two separate development trees. I just bit this bullet for cygwin-xfree. One procedural problem with this is that sourceware is not currently set up to deal with a huge influx of "developers" who will maintain their products using cvs. I sort of wish that we were as automated as sourceforce seems to be in this respect. cgf
