That Q should go to Rafael. It dont believe so early.
Just one performance bug was found so far (copying @_),
and I put this into my new interim -3 package.
But it is still in test and I can change it.

Hmm. Good argument.
Maybe a -i386 suffix against the -i64 suffix is in order.
i64 assumes fastcall-like calling conventions which don't support.
(first 4 args via registers, rest on the stack)
And later we want to come up with a proper CPAN release of a Cygwin package.
We want more API functions from the dll, and mount table handling.
Cygwin::Version as package is still forbidden. hmm.
Maybe release the Cygwin::Setup package on CPAN?
I fixed the same also in my local copy of upset. => Cygwin::Setup
