Great!

I see.  I didn't appreciate that maintainership was also factored into 
the authorization process but it makes sense.  Jon mentioned this in the 
passwdqc thread as well.

OK, I updated them here:
https://github.com/crd477/mingw64-x86_64-lz4-cygport
https://github.com/crd477/mingw64-i686-lz4-cygport

I've had less experience with cross-compiling but I think they're 
correct nevertheless.

Thanks, and take care...
