Please don't assume that since perl is already a package in the cygwin
distribution that a separate 5.6.1 version is a given. If you are
going to be adding a new package to the distribution, you need to
go through the normal approval process.
I'll state again that I don't think that it is a good idea to include
5.6.1.
