The nfs-server package has been orphaned for years; it hasn't been
updated since 2006 (in the cygwin-1.5.21 era). Frankly, I'm amazed that
it still works at all.
Now that cygwin-1.7.x has built-in support for the XDR routines (used by
RPC, and hence, NFS), I've created updated versions of the rpc libs and
utilities -- but I haven't yet posted them for public consumption (they
still need a little work, especially the rpcbind daemon which replaces
the old portmapper).
Then...later...somebody might be able to (re)port a newer nfs-server and
adopt it. /That/ probably won't be me, however.
