I did not look for the GitHub, but the naive compile and run worked with few custom 
actions in the cygport script.

Here comes my weak English. Will I be refused by Jari or do you mean that I will refuse 
you because I did the Cygport file?

If the latter, I have no objections you are the maintainer (let's wait for Jari), I just 
wanted to give a helpful hand, not only to rudely ask for the update. And also to play 
more with the cygports and expand my portfolio (I am shy to say `empire`)  :)
