Cygwin participation threshold

The model is *still* used by djgpp - *all* patches must go through me.
I'm at the moment starting to let a few others apply patches (like
Eli), but getting code into djgpp is much more draconic than cygwin,
since (1) there are more cygwin people who can check in changes, and
(2) I'm much more strict about style and quality in djgpp :)

Even if that happens, you could always take the most recent net
release of cygwin and move forward with it.  It is, after all, GPL.
