So, if the pbzip2 devs distribute a copy of cygwin1.dll, I assume they
also abide by the GPL and distribute the sources for that copy of
cygwin?
Huh, I seem to have invented this; they are not using cygwin1.dll
after all. There are still plenty of such cases of course. I'm still
willing to maintain the package.
In light of this, perhaps I should benchmark the cygwin compiled version
to make sure it is reasonable to use this rather than insisting on the
windows binary. Will report back.
