Yes, that would be a great contribution. I think it should live at CPAN
as a separate category similar to the Win32:: hierarchy named Cygwin::
So if you have a version of one or another Module that works, just put
it up to CPAN so everyone can fetch it.
I would like to test it with bleadperl because perl-5.6 is stable and
hopefully soon we'll have a new perl, perl-5.8;)
