I'm willing to set this up. I have always envisioned something like
this, as much as I hate the thought of having two separate development
trees. I just bit this bullet for cygwin-xfree.
One procedural problem with this is that sourceware is not currently set
up to deal with a huge influx of "developers" who will maintain their
products using cvs. I sort of wish that we were as automated as
sourceforce seems to be in this respect.
