New Cygwin maintainer

I have just taken over from Reini Urban as clisp maintainer for Cygwin. 
  I can build the tip of the Mercurial repository on both 32-bit and 
64-bit Cygwin [*], but several patches are required (not all of which 
are Cygwin-specific).  I would like to get these patches applied.  How 
should I proceed?  Should I just send patches to this list?  Or do you 
prefer bug reports with patches attached?

BTW, I just took a quick glance at the bug tracker and saw that some of 
my patches fix bugs that have been previously reported.  I didn't do a 
thorough search.

[*] The 64-bit build is somewhat limited at the moment for several reasons:

1. ffcall has not been ported to 64-bit Cygwin.

2. libsigsegv has not been ported to 64-bit Cygwin.

3. I ran into a gcc problem when trying to build several of the modules 
(including regexp):

On the other hand, one Cygwin user reported that he had successfully 
built Macsyma using my 64-bit build, so apparently it's of some use in 
spite of the limitations.
