It seems my attempt at humor was open for misunderstandings. I meant to 
say that my current Windows desktop at home is about to die as it's 
running with an IBM Deskstar 60 GB that has a known defect which earned 
it the nickname deathstar. Even when this happens I will have access to 
Windows systems but only at my work office. (The funny thing is that it 
would give me a service window of at least 8 hours a day which is more 
than I've ever spend at with a cygwin system at home)

What was only implied (at least I thought so) but not said was that when 
it does die my ability to maintain cygwin packages is less than optimal 
and I would not mind somebody else taking over before that time.
