Regarding the recent release of Cygwin 1.5.3-1, here is what I am going 
to do:

1) Wait for all libraries that we depend on to release their 1.5.3-1 
versions.

2) Recompile the whole of Cygwin/XFree86 4.3.0 for Cygwin 1.5.3-1

3) Release the whole of Cygwin/XFree86 4.3.0 for Cygwin 1.5.3-1


I can't tell at this point whether or not there will be any problems 
either continuing to run Cygwin/XFree86 under Cygwin 1.5.3-1, whether or 
not their will be problems compiling new applications, etc.  My best 
advice at this point is to just wait a week or two for things to settle 
down before mentioning that so-and-so doesn't compile anymore.  It would 
be good to know if anything is out-right not working anymore, as that 
would speed the release of Cygwin/XFree86 for Cygwin 1.5.3-1.
