Actually a mantainer is *needed* to have new packages, moreover those 
patches are a bit "unclean".. some times ago I decided to build those 
packages too, but the list told me that the correct way to do DLLs is to 
relibtoolize the package, and not creating custom scripts.
I converted libungif in the "clean way" but I have too few time to 
convert all of them (though I would like to port at least glib and gtk 
someday, and maybe finisi freeciv gtk port), but they're not 
straightforward and I lack the necessary X-Windows know-how.

Volunteers gladly accepted, as usual 0=)

> Could anybody give me a hint?
Once good packages are created and a mantainer is found there is no 
problem in hosting them in cygwin official mirrors, I bet.
