Hi,

Wow, I didn't know you read this list.  Cool!

I saw on your site that 'connect' compiles on Cygwin.  Did you consider
offering it as a Cygwin package, so that people can install it from the
mirrors?

Also FYI, Cygwin's CVS is still on 1.11.0 (1.11.5 has just been announced
as a test release).  Chuck (the CVS maintainer) might consider patching
CVS to have proxy functionality, so maybe you could coordinate.  Chuck?
