OK. In the meantime, I went ahead and prepared packages to replace the existing 22.1-3 test packages (cygwin 1.7 only). As far as I can tell, they're ready for upload. Please check them when you get a chance, and let me know if there were any pending problems that aren't fixed.

Are you able to use cygport yet? If not, maybe one of the other package maintainers could check the packaging, since I've never prepared a cygwin package before. And if anyone wants to try out the binaries and give me feedback, that would be useful.

I'm not aware of any problems other than the time zone problem I reported in http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-02/msg00148.html (with an easy workaround). I don't know how to debug it, but it doesn't strike me as serious.
