Just one remark: the source package contains the patch at its root and not in
CYGWIN-PATCHES where, AFAIK, it's supposed to be (for packages not using build
scripts)
Other than that, I've tried out the tools in the ISO-C99 specification (nice
& big file) and found no problems :)

BTW: wouldn't it be a better idea to just add a Makefile.cygwin file? That way,
the same source pack can still be used on other OSs as well.. (Just a thought)
