What about some CVSROOT/modules magic to exclude winsup/mingw and winsup/w32api from a Cygwin checkout? 1) change the existing cygwin module to naked-cygwin; 2) add a new cygwin module with "-a src-support naked-cygwin naked-newlib naked-include"; 3) change the directions on cvs.html to "cvs co cygwin" instead of "cvs co winsup" for new checkouts; 4) devs with existing checkouts could just rm -fr winsup/mingw winsup/w32api if they so choose (but with the patch, they won't be used anymore even if present). As mingw.org already treats winsup/mingw and winsup/w32api as separate repos[1], that should do the trick for us without forcing them to move. Given our long-standing cooperation until now, I think it's the least we could do. Yaakov [1] http://mingw.org/wiki/Official_CVS_Repository
