I've just created a snapshot which may, barring any conflagrations, be
very close to what will show up as 1.5.21.  If there are no major
regressions from 1.5.20, I plan on releasing cygwin 1.5.21 on Monday.

The fixes that I can infer from the ChangeLog are:

  - block current signal while executing in a signal handler.

  - remove previously broken ability to store symlink info in extended attributes.

  - rexec rewrite

  - temporarily remove SA_RESTART functionality from blocking signals calls in
    preparation for a 1.5.22 socket rewrite.

  - implement setmetamode handling (see linux man page for more details).

  - allow listening on an unbound INET socket.

(I'm sure Corinna will clarify some of the above or add to the list)

Please test this (or any newer) snapshot and report any regressions from
1.5.20 to this thread.
