The patches that have not been applied yet will be applied in the next
release. As I don't use Debian (only RH8 and Gentoo) their patches will
have to wait until they're pushed up stream to vanilla Bash.

OTOH, if you know about patches that might be interesting for Cygwin users,
then PTC will, of course, apply :)

As for coordinating patches between Cygwin bash and your bash, you'll have
the patches applied in the source package, as I'll be using method #2. You'll
be able to get them from the source tarball at every release.
