Gets my vote too.  A minor packaging issue: is /etc/lftp.conf intended to
be customized?  If so, it'll now be overwritten on every upgrade, and you
should use a postinstall script to put it in place instead.  If not, you
should mention that fact in the Cygwin-specific README in big friendly
letters (although it would be better to allow system-wide customization).
