In that case we should just smooth over the sharp edges on HEAD and do a
real release and forget about backporting.  With the addition of the
"check for and cope with a 'tar -T /dev/null' header of 512 \0s" fix I
think we'd be close, since in this context we're not talking about the
1.7 functionality.  That is certainly going to be better than picking
and choosing a couple of enhancements, which seems rather arbitrary to
me.


Am I correct in understanding that the HEAD code is still for the
current cygwin and not for the upcoming 1.7, or will setup.exe
be comaptible with both?
