Subject: perl 5.6.1 != 5.6.1-TRIAL1

Why does Cygwin still distribute Perl 5.6.1-TRIAL1 instead of the
released 5.6.1 (possibly with Cygwin-specific patches)?  This is
annoying.  For example, Math::BigInt got updated between TRIAL1 and the
release, and this is causing dependency problems with Math::* modules.

If it's simply a matter of nobody's done the work, I'll volunteer.  I'll
need instructions on how to make a distribution tarball.

Cheers,
