I've been waiting for Max's stuff to wend its way through the cygwin
process before trying again. I'll go for it when the apr stuff is
accepted. I'll need some help with that, as I don't know how to do
most of the things Max wanted done.
Alternately, if someone who is better qualified and understands cygwin
more than I do would rather take it over, that wouldn't hurt my
feelings in the slightest. I was trying to be altruistic, but
considering it took me no more than 10 minutes to build my personal
copy of cygwin svn from source and at least 10 hours to prepare the
cygwin package ready that Max rejected out of hand, my altruistic
feelings are waning.
