Yes, I'm aware of that patch.

Correct - for now, it is only in cygwin-ports.

I'll be making an update when I get enough free time to work on it. I
may actually number it 8.23-6 to avoid conflicts with the cygwin-ports
build, or even wait for upstream 8.24 to happen first, but it is on my
list to get done (the problem with doing things on free time is that
there is never enough free time).

Always nice to hear things like this.
