By all means go directly to 1.10.0. I believe the patches will
be accepted if they don't break other archs and aren't
hideously ugly.

That would be very cool. Debian used to have a cygwin package
``back then'' but it died off. If you can give me the pointers
to a successful cross-compiler (mingw specifically) I'd love to
maintain the package.

A cross-compiler would be a real boon, you make it sound like
it saves a lot of headaches :-) But if that fails, a compiler
would work. Just the files wouldn't do, I don't think I got the
mingw32 compiler right to begin with.
