Because building and testing a "bindtools" package from the official
source code and sharing it to the community sounds like the job of a
Cygwin package maintainer ;)

If anyone volunteers to do that, I'll be more than pleased to use an
"official" Cygwin package of Bind instead of doing some dark magic to
make it work. In the meanwhile I prefer using the binary kit provided by
ISC.
