Hello!
Background: I miss DirectX header files. Slightly patched headers from
the Wine project works fine for me, so I submitted those some time ago.
However, they were rejected due to licensing issues (Wine is LGPL,
w32api is Public Domain). I then asked nicely if the Wine developers
would be so
One issue that sometimes pops up currently is the failure of
post-install scripts when Cygwin's DLL is being replaced. I
know that you can run into trouble if a daemon is currently
using the DLL when you update the cygwin package, at least.
