I really don't see it as any problem. Do you really think that two months
is a very long period of silence for project that lasts for a decade? :)

Excellent, thank you. Please report the other bugs directly (ie. vie a bug
tracker) when found, if possible.

A lot of code still sucks, but then again, I never had will to to a proper
rewrite. As a temporary maintainer, I took over a dead project and I was
merely fixing a hundreds of bugs lying around and sporadically adding a
bunch of new features.

Having that in mind, I'd generally recommend *avoiding* Hybserv since
there are much better services lying around that do have active coders.

Let me know if you need SVN access.

Yup, seems familiar.

I don't see why the old Cygwin would work and newer Cygwin would break (I
can expect only more compatibility), but sure, I can give it a try.
