Bruno,

Would you like to become the Cygwin ProFTPD maintainer?  Just like me

Unfortunately, I'm not sure what is the best way to keep them in sync.

OK, then submit a patch to:

The above have been added to my README in the Issues section:

    http://www.tishler.net/jason/software/proftpd/proftpd-1.2.9rc3.README
