New description:
singular-3-1-3-3.p1 does not build on Cygwin, as Singular's internal
libraries libkernel and libhtmlhelp are now built as static, and they
cannot be linked using the usual -l syntax. Rather, one needs to list them
much like .o files.
Spkg is available at
[http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/kcrisman/singular-3-1-3-3.p2.spkg
singular-3-1-3-3.p2.spkg].

Comment:
I've done exactly that same thing in making spkgs before! Spkg is updated
at [http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/kcrisman/singular-3-1-3-3.p2.spkg
singular-3-1-3-3.p2.spkg]. The new patch only is applied on Cygwin. Diff
attached for reference in review.
Dima, I'll test this just now, but if it builds, then I think it would
just require you to sign off on it.
Dima or Volker or someone, can you report this upstream?
