Automated builds have been picked up again and the Cygwin test package
3.5.0-0.17.g95f5b0a62036 should be available later today.  You can
install it using setup.exe, just like any other test release.

Don't forget to install the matching cygwin-devel package, too, that's
the one containing the library libgmon.a, which is what gets linked in
with `gcc -pg'.
