Hi all!

There are some general purpose libraries like cygwin1.dll in the 
repository. What about their sources? Are they in the repo (don't see 
them in any evident location but didn't searched hard enough), are they 
planned to be added to dvd, or something else?

At least cygwin1.dll seems sensitive for this as it's copylefted 
(GPLv2+exception) but others could also be, didn't yet checked.

  Master/tlpkg/asymptote/cygwin1.dll
    gpl

  Master/tlpkg/asymptote/freeglut.dll
  Master/bin/i386-cygwin/freeglut.dll

  Master/tlpkg/asymptote/glu32.dll

  Master/tlpkg/texworks/libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll

  Master/tlpkg/texworks/mingwm10.dll
  Master/tlpkg/tlpsv/mingwm10.dll
    public domain?

And I have heard that msvc?71.dll could also have some special 
conditions for redistribution.

  Master/bin/win32/msvcp71.dll
  Master/bin/win32/msvcr71.dll
