brolga has been on life support for quite a long time. The reason it
hasn't been retired is that for a long time I was unable to get a
buildfarm member running successfully on a more modern Cygwin. That now
appears to have resolved itself, so in a week or so I will set up a
Cygwin buildfarm member running on a modern Cygwin on Windows 8.1, and
build with perl, python, openssl, libxml and libxslt. Note that I have
only tested 32 bit Cygwin - 64-bit might well be a whole different story.
