Announcing something on cygwin-apps means that the other maintainers will
look at it if necessary, and that someone with access will eventually
upload it to sourceware.org.  Once that happens, the package will be
announced on cygwin-announce, and *that* does mean that it'll be available
via setup soon. :-)

I'll let Reini answer this one.

At the very least it needs to be uploaded to sourceware.org.  I'd wait for
it to appear on cygwin-announce before trying to download it via setup.
