It is great news that this is in the pipeline.  Not sure if
it is off-topic, but can someone explain in 25 words or less
how "AST", "INIT", and "UWIN" relate to the Cygwin effort?
My vague impression is that "UWIN" is a parallel universe to
Cygwin -- a freely available WIN32 Unix-lookalike based on
AT&T work, and that AST and INIT are something like the RPM
formats of the UWIN world.  Is that at all close?
