Returning modified code to the Cygwin Community

I recently ported a rather large project to Cygwin and I
had to modify a couple of Cygwin-related projects to get
things to work for me.
I thought that if I sent email to the group, this would
start the process of getting some of this back into Cygwin -
and make our lives easier here (JPL and the DODS Group) and
elsewhere in the long run by having this (possibly) incorporated
back into the original distributions for this stuff.
. . . in the spirit of the open source movement . . . sharing . . .
These include the following for Cygwin 20.1B:
1) RPC Library for Cygwin 20.1B, starting with Corinna's stuff mentioned
on the Cygwin Home Page.
binaries: http://dods.jpl.nasa.gov/WinPort/binaries/rpclib.bin.tar.gz
source : http://dods.jpl.nasa.gov/WinPort/binaries/rpc-4.0.src.tar.gz
Description: Rather extensive modification (mostly) to allow them to
to compile and link from either C or C++. Things needed
reorganized quite a bit. I'm not sure how much of this
got exercised in our port project - but whatever did,
works.
2) Hdf4.1r2 for Cygwin 20.1B
binaries: http://dods.jpl.nasa.gov/WinPort/binaries/hdf.bin.tar.gz
Source : http://dods.jpl.nasa.gov/WinPort/binaries/hdf.src.tar.gz
I simply got the source code and applied a patch from a guy at Goddard
that (at some point) had made it for B19. I can't remember making any
other mods to this except general clean-up. It was originally from
ftp://niteroi.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/win32/ncsa/ .
3) IPC Library and tools for Cygwin 20.1B.
http://dods.jpl.nasa.gov/WinPort/binaries/cygwinB20IPC.tar.gz . This
originally came from http://www.multione.capgemini.fr/tools/pack_ipc/
and (if memory serves) mods were just general clean-up.
I'd like to see some of this moved out of dods.jpl.nasa.gov and put under
control elsewhere if possible.
Someone in the know . . . . please advise.
