Thank you for the snapshot link. |

I am attaching the cygwin patch here. Please let me know if there are |
| 18 |
any comments or questions about any specific fixes. |

Some notes: |
| 21 |
1. I have disabled the install_qa_checks on Cygwin for now, since that |
| 22 |
takes forever to complete even for very small packages. |
| 23 |
2. Also, the unlocking for tuples almost invariably fails on Windows. |
| 24 |
However, that does not create any trouble in most cases. I have changed |
| 25 |
the code so that such failures are silently ignored. Otherwise, it is |
| 26 |
very annoying to see the builds failing for no apparent reason. |
| 27 |
3. Move cannot be performed on windows if the target file exists. I |
| 28 |
have ignored such rename attempts. |
