The following information seems to be missing in the above:
$ svn propget --revprop svn:log -r18825
CHANGES: Cygwin: libnetsnmp does now build as a DLL when configured with
--enable-shared.
CHANGES: Cygwin: perl modules do now build (--with-perl-modules).
Note: the T060trapdperl_olducd, T061agentperl_olducd and
T115agentxperl_olducd tests still fail.
$ svn propget --revprop svn:log -r19073
NEWS: MinGW: the snmpd.conf keyword extend does now work.
NEWS: MinGW: the snmptrapd.conf keyword traphandle does now work.
CHANGES: MinGW: run_shell_command() with either input or output (but not
both) does now work.
This did not work until now because on MinGW mkstemp() generates a
MinGW-style path (/tmp/...) while system() invokes cmd.exe and hence expects
a Windows-style path (C:\...).
