What's all this talk about Yaakov?  I mean sure, he maintains thousands of
packages between what's in the distribution and what's on Cygwin Ports.  And
he's very active and all.  But really, how much time can this take?  A couple
of hours a month and an occasional email?  I mean, come on, anyone could
do that.  It's not that hard.  Especially in this world full of unicorns and
rainbows.
