Sorry, it was not obvious to me that this was *NOT* an official

Cygnal is *NOT* a Cygwin package,

that post is deceptive.
I used [ANNOUNCEMENT] simply because I saw the tag on other
announcements.
Some people might have filters based on this exact subject line tag;
inventing a different, similar tag would evade those filters, possibly
to someone's chagrin.
I apologize to people who were curious about this, yet then disappointed
to discover that it's something other than a program that they can just
install under Cygwin and then use. Also, sorry if I broke any automated
process which relies on these specially formatted subject lines matching
official packages.
I will remember to refrain from using the tag in the future.
(which could easily be well over a year from now; whenever is the next
time I sync up with Cygwin mainline.)
