I would like to contribute my Cygwin port of hdparm.
Hdparm (http://sourceforge.net/projects/hdparm) is a Linux tool to
get/set ATA/SATA drive parameters and driver settings.
A HDIO_DRIVE_CMD ioctl emulation layer is used to provide the drive
related command subset of hdparm on Windows.
It should work on XP SP2 and 2003 if driver provides ATA_PASS_THROUGH.
It also supports 2000 and XP SP1 if undocumented IDE_PASS_THROUGH is
available.

packaging and package looks fine.

Even -M (acoustic settings) does work, impressive port.
One might want to note somewhere that it requires Administrator rights.
(which is good)
