So, *should* I go back to distributing the mingw/w32api sources in the cygwin source tarball?

I think it's somewhat of a gray area since the w32api is sort of the
system include area.  Or at least that's how I've always rationalized it.

I'm surprised that this is the first time anyone has brought this up in
all of the agonizing time when cygwin wouldn't build because it needed
a newer w32api.
