right, SSL-enabling for webdav based uploading and package maintaince

sources.redhat.com, that's why I suggest an independant machine for
the whole Cygwin project.

Let's see how my prototype design will look like. I think it's the
best way to "see" what we may do with it and then descide if it is
considered usefull.
