So you are still here, somehow?  You didn't bother to reply for the last
three months, so I'm wondering, what are your plans as Cygwin maintainer?
You maintain quite a couple of packages, some of them not yet available
as 64 bit packages:

  catdoc
  clisp
  ctris
  fcgi
  ffcall
  libsigsegv
  libtextcat
  mathomatic
  parrot
  perl-io-tty
  perl-libwin32
  perl-win32-gui
  rakudo
  scsh
  tesseract-ocr

Are you still with us?


Thanks,
Corinna
