I appreciate the thoroughness with which you approached this patch and,
personally, have no problem with your checking this in.  Unless your
ssh key has changed, you should still have the ability to check things
into the "src" CVS repository where gdb (and cygwin) resides.

However, this patch and your method for patching, will, of course,
require someone other than me to approve it.
