Only the shm interface is available, and until all are working and
cygserver can replace the cygipc package, I'm assuming that we can't
expose any of them.

Thanks: it sounds like this is the way to go.  I'm not clear if/how I
can produce a patch that moves files: is it possible?

Or would it be okay for me to go ahead and make the change in HEAD
myself?  The change involves moving the relevant files and editing both
them and a couple of the cygserver* files that include them.

Cheers,
