Sorry, my previous response was inadvertently sent before I was done.

Note the description of this list from http://cygwin.com/lists.html:
cygwin-apps: a subscriber-only list for discussing packaging
issues regarding applications that are distributed with the
Cygwin DLL. If you are maintaining or volunteering to maintain
one of the packages that is distributed with the Cygwin net
releases you should be subscribed to this list. This list is
intended for discussing solutions. It is not (with one exception)
for bug reports, "it would be nice", or "how do I" type of
musings. Do not subsccribe to this mailing list to ask questions
about packages. Use the main cygwin mailing list for that.

Lapo posted his message and gave the URL so his lighttpd package could
be inspected preparatory to being included in the cygwin distribution.
I noted a potential problem with how the dlls were built, though
unfortunately not until after Lapo's package was uploaded by
Christopher. I didn't actually try the package and have a problem.

Yes, to correct the potential problem I noted.

He's one of the folks who helpfully updates packages on the sourceware
server where the cygwin distribution is kept. He was saying he had
uploaded the package from Lapo's url to the server from whence it will
get mirrored and become available via cygwin's setup.exe program.
