Why, we could always name the next versions "cygwin-newer",
"cygwin-evenmorenew", "cygwin-newerthannew" and
"cygwin-reallyreallynew-imeanit".

With a dash? cygwin-ng? Like syslog-ng. I was going to suggest this
too, but I didn't want to copy the naming too bluntly. I guess we
should use "cygwin-notasnewbutstillnewenough". I'm still more leaning
towards cygwin-2008. You shouldn't have suggested the name. It's all
your fault.
