Thanks!

I actually forgot about it, thanks for the reminder. Unfortunately
pinfo has been dead upstream for a long time, but I just did a search
and it looks like the debian maintainer has adopted it recently:

http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pinfo-announce/2006/000000.html

So, pinfo is also up for adoption and it would be great for the new
parent to package that new release candidate. I didn't add any
Cygwin-specific patches, but pinfo has some known bugs so I'm
sure the upsteam maintainer would thoughfully consider patches.
For example, this one has been noticed before:
