Well, I don't know what Andy really wants.  I pinged him May 2015 and he
replied a couple of days later.  Life was taking a toll, so he was not
actively working on mintty anymore.  He told me he'd have a look into
providing a new mintty version.  I pinged him twice since then, once in
October 2014, once in January 2015.  I'm willing to ping Andy again
(done with this mail), but if he doesn't reply we should really go
forward I think, even if it's unfortunate, Andy being a nice guy.
