The -2 package below has no additional 5.8.8 script suffix anymore, just 
for the two binaries.
I also add some more in-between patches, esp. an installperl bugfix for 
Gerrit's CYG04major.version.cygwin.sh.patch

NEWS:

5.8.8-2
   - fixed installperl for the pl-CYG04major.version.cygwin.sh.patch
     (skipping lib and pods).
   - added #40103 - File-Spec-case_tolerant.patch from 5.9.5
   - added #38628 Cwd->cwd() patch, but not the full cygwin-path.patch
     posted to p5p
   - added File-Spec-Cygwin-TMPDIR.patch
   - added several backports for failing testsuite cases.
   - Adjust the perlcygwin documentation for ntsec, cygserver and Unicode
     limitations.
   - included more vendor_perl packages compared to 5.8.7 (without
     comment they are all new):
     Rationale: Same local vendor_perl packages included as in 5.8.7,
     plus some of the new CPAN
     packages which went to core with 5.9.5, Bundle::CPAN,
     CPAN::Reporter, Module::Build, Par::Dist,
     for a full CPAN bootstrap, the new libXML packages, and some
     almost-core dependencies.

   - removed /usr/bin/ptar and /usr/bin/ptardiff, and subsequently
     Algorithm-Diff-1.1902 Text-Diff-0.35. If you want these binaries
     install Archive::Tar via cpan
   - PAR is not included because of /usr/bin/pp: impolite namespace
     pollution. But since the PAR::Dist
     is included the tight version dependency problems should have gone.

5.8.8-1 (never uploaded)
   - Maintainer change from Gerrit Haase to Reini Urban.
   - This is based on the latest stable perl release, with the same local
     patches and local vendor_perl packages included as in 5.8.7, plus
     some of the new CPAN packages which went to core with 5.9.5, plus
     some CPAN and CPAN::Reporter dependencies to be able for a full CPAN
     bootstrap, plus the new libXML packages,
     plus some almost-core dependencies.
