Btw, as long as we're talking about this, I think we need to clarify the
rules a little. I don't think that existence of a package in an
experimental category in Debian or any other distribution should make it
an automatic candidate for inclusion in Cygwin.
I might even go so far as to say that Debian unstable doesn't qualify
but I could be dissuaded from that view.
This doesn't pertain to this thread that I've hijacked but I keep
meaning to make this point. Seeing the URLs above reminded me to
do so.
