The company I'm working for at the moment needs it for an internal script that they're developing. I've made a package for them using the cygport file I e-mailed earlier. However, I'd rather the package was available in the main repo (even if I have to maintain that package myself) because then I don't have to add any additional packages to the stock Cygwin that I download. Plus then the rest of the Cygwin community can benefit from it! Do I take it that you'd be happy to maintain the package, or would you prefer me to submit an ITP? Dave.
