The company I'm working for at the moment needs it for an internal 
script that they're developing. I've made a package for them using the 
cygport file I e-mailed earlier. However, I'd rather the package was 
available in the main repo (even if I have to maintain that package 
myself) because then I don't have to add any additional packages to the 
stock Cygwin that I download. Plus then the rest of the Cygwin community 
can benefit from it!

Do I take it that you'd be happy to maintain the package, or would you 
prefer me to submit an ITP?

Dave.
