For the record, my original paragraph read like this:

"It actually is not trivial at all.  As I also keep mentioning, it
requires that someone who cares about this will have to actually do it
rather than report that it is possible to do it."

The non-triviality of the effort involves someone actually TAKING TIME
TO DO THE JOB.  That is an extremely nontrivial undertaking for anyone
on the cygwin mailing list.
