Some Cygwin functions and headers are based on original BSD code.  Those
can be moved around at will.  Other code can be moved from Cygwin
licensing to newlib licensing as well, if the authors are ok with that,
or the function is trivial enough.

uchar.h as well as timespec_get are both authored by me, and I don't have
any problems moving the files / functions into BSD-like licensing.
timespec_get is trivial, too.
