I am.

But I can live without 'make distcheck'
I can 'make dist' and then manually test it

There is also the SourceForge Linux shell account to use,
and since any project built using Cygwin and needing 
'make dist' has to be OpenSourced,  all such Cygwin Projects
also have this resource :-)

So even though I am a project 'maintainer' 
I see no reason to 'force' the good automake people
to waste time on this.

Cheers
