Go over to the mingw.org mailing lists; there is ongoing effort related 
to MSYS2 which is based on a much more recent fork of cygwin IIUC. Also, 
many of the earlier hacks that msys-1 implemented are no longer needed 
thanks to exploiting new features in the underlying cygwin (like: 
/etc/fstab).

Also, I *think* the development is being tracked as a branch from a 
cygwin repo clone, so keeping msys2 updated with respect to cygwin 
changes should be easier.

However, discussing "not-cygwin" on the cygwin list(s) is A Bad Idea, so 
you should go "over there" and talk it out with those guys.
