Updated versions of these packages should hit the mirrors soon. Although 
they are minor releases, I'd like some testing by other-than-me, because 
these are basically new ports...

Some of my old patches were re-implemented upsteam. There were other new 
changes affecting cygwin. AND some of my old patches had to be 
re-applied by hand. Ugly...I *think* everything is okay, but...some 
confirmation would be nice. Especially encrypted/password-protected 
round-trip tests, on DOS-mounts.

I use zip and gzip for backup files, where a bug is unlikely to be 
detected before the problem is catastrophic.  Thus I like to stick to 
old, well-tested versions, and am interested in understanding where 
problems might arise.  I would have thought that the cygwin executable 
would be the same as that obtained by taking the standard source and 
running make.  What is special about cygwin that requires patches?
