Was this work ever merged into Cygwin1.dll?
Unfortunately, not. And Jeremy seems to have moved on to other ways to
apply his talents.
It would be ideal if someone else would pick up that work and get it
finished off.
That would require a cygwin.dll expert beyond my skill set.
What about adding the current work as build option?
If/when "someone" can be found for this work, it would be far better to
finish the work so it can be tested and merged.
I can't imagine providing a build option for an unfinished, unsupported,
branch of the Cygwin DLL to "release" a lightning-rod feature to users who
won't know how to make use of the incomplete code. That just sounds like
more future work for us, to be honest.
You've reminded us of this unfinished work so it's again visible to us.
Thank you for that.
