Cool.

Btw., per cygwin-pkg-maint we only have 9 orphaned packages.  I don't
believe that even one second, but these 9 packages are already orphaned
for a long time.  Shouldn't we remove them?  At least pdksh should go,
given that we have a modern replacement.  What about the rest?

Here's the list:

  Name          Orphaned  Replacement   Comment

  cramfs        2005
  distcc        2005                    Builds with just a few minor tweaks.
  ioperm        2003                    Dead upstream
  jgraph        2003                    Dead upstream.  Linux jgraph is
                                        another project.
