Cygwin's distribution is allot like many Linux distributions - its a
collection of packages that are updated on disconnected schedules.
Multitail is a package of its own with its own versions, as you know.
Cygwin has its own maintainers for packages that are responsible for
updating packages.  So your request is actually best directed at the
Cygwin maintainer for multitail.  But since maintainers typically
monitor this list and it is the recommended way to communicate with
them, you've made the request already. :-)
