Yeah, I totally failed to consider the First...Last ranges in this 
script, how embarassing.
I would have chosen other markers than 0/1 for the two cases (maybe 
"firstlast" for the new one), and not put it in the middle, but you 
fixed it anyway; except for the Private Use ranges E000..F8FF, 
F0000..FFFFD, 100000..10FFFD, but their category Co isn't used anyway.
I suggest you submit your patch directly to cygwin-patches@cygwin.com. 
One issue, though:
Apparently, you used a Unicode version other than 10.0 as a reference, 
probably 11.0. Maybe the fixing patch should be based on the same 
version, for better clarity and to reduce the diff (fewer changes in 
categories.t and none in caseconv.t).
We can update to 11.0 in addition, but:

The library updated to 11.0 is probably icu, which isn't used here. The 
libc generation scripts use the original Unicode files which are 
packaged in unicode-ucd which is still at 10.0.
