That's fine, it can happen whenever you're ready.  I'm holding off on
almost anything perl-related until then.

Most??  Which don't?

Does that affect the general readability of 5.10 for general
consumption?  I'm a bit concerned about making such a major upgrade too
early.

AFAIK our perl packages used to use the default, which is archname:
cygwin-thread-multi-64int.  It's a bit long, and makes for file listings
more than 80 chars wide.  Some ideas from what other distros *would* do,
based on their other platforms:
* Fedora, Gentoo: i686-cygwin-thread-multi
* Debian, Ubuntu: nothing (archlib == privlib)

The Debian method makes me wonder if there's any benefit at all to the
lib/arch differential, being that Cygwin only supports one arch (i686).
~ Unless one day there will be separate x86_64 build?  Doubtful, given
that GCC still doesn't support amd64 PE/COFF.

OTOH, if there is still a point to the archlib, Cygwin's perl has been
threaded for quite a while.  Maybe i686-cygwin will suffice?
