Nope - the patchset that I apply when building the cygwin port is so small
that so far I have just maintained it manually, rather than publishing a
git repo.  But if you want me to make it more public, I can certainly look
into doing that.  And yes, now that 1.7.x is out for some time now, I
should probably advance the cygwin port beyond 1.6.6.1.
