It's been almost a year and a half since I made a request to have
Cygwin's GNU make updated with the upstream patches for colons in
dependencies and VPATH directives:
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2008-07/msg00058.html
I'd like to re-request that this updated package be accepted by the make
package maintainer.
The source and binary packages (assembled according to the instructions
at http://www.cygwin.com/setup.html) have been updated for Cygwin 1.7.1,
and are available here:

Respectfully,
