7 It is indeed one of the ingenious things in Gentoo, that you have a
8 full system to manage your personal overlay (distribution). You don't
9 depend on upstream developers as the bottleneck. By this more people
10 can learn how to work with patches and can emerge themself to future
11 upstream devs.

13 So where do you suggest to store the Cygwin distro? Is sourceforge
14 still a good choice today?
