And on the converse, any plans to fix the non-portable assumption in your
code that the timeout parameter will be altered?  All the world is not
Linux.  That said, yes, there has been talk of releasing cygwin 1.7.2 when
a few more things stabilize.  And with all open source projects, the
answer includes the caveat: the release will be sooner if you submit patches.
