The Cygwin a2ps package is currently out of date and depends on the
ancient libintl2, and furthermore the maintainer hasn't been heard from
in years[1]. I think it's fair to call this orphaned at this point.
While I have no particular attachment to this package, as I do have a
working copy in Ports, I might as well ITA it:
ftp://ftp.cygwinports.org/pub/cygwinports/release-2/a2ps/
Since this a2ps package uses libpaper, which is not yet in the distro,
I'll ITP that now:
ftp://ftp.cygwinports.org/pub/cygwinports/release-2/libpaper/
libpaper, while maintained by Debian, is found in all major distros.

Thanks for taking over a2ps. Consequently libpaper is a no-brainer
again. Feel free to upload.
Thanks again,
