Hi !
As I know (maybe I 'm wrong) we avoid in Cygwin to utilize low level device
drivers. It is obvious that access to I/O ports require specjal Widows device
driver but seems to be relatively simple in use only under versions of NT
which do not require system rebooting after such driver installation (XP for
example). From this reason I do not think it may be placed in Cygwin
distribution.
