It's fixed decided that we keep the entire 1.5.25 based net distro
around for those user who are still running Cygwin on Windows 9x
or users having very specific needs.  However, there will probably
be no new packages for the 1.5.25 based distro anymore.  No package
maintainer will be forced to support two separate distros.
