Hi folks,

I earlier adopted jansson and am documenting that now for the record, as I don't 
see that elsewhere.
I now would like to adopt xmltoman, as it appears Debian have picked up an 
updated release from GH atsb (may be a Debian maintainer as they have all his 
details in their .dsc).
I have updated, built, and deployed it from GH Scallywag, where you can see the 
cygport and builds, so will mark it as mine (Preciousss!) ;^> in 
cygwin-infra/pkg-maint/cygwin-pkg-maint.
