Updated: [experimental] cygwin-1.5.25-3

I've made another version of the Cygwin DLL, 1.5.25-3, and associated
utilities available for testing.  Version 1.5.24-2 remains the current
version for now.

This is a bug fix release.  If nothing serious crops up within the next
couple of days, I intend to make this the new Cygwin version at the end
of next week.

Changes since test version 1.5.25-2:

- Solve a name clash problem between struct timezone and the timezone
  variable.

- Disallow linking against the old timezone function.

Changes since test version 1.5.25-1:

- Fix a bug in memory allocation which results in an enormous waste of
  internal heap memory when using mmap(2) a lot.

- Fix a bug in memory allocation which can result in unexpected SEGVs.

Important changes since 1.5.24-2:

- Always add LOCAL and INTERACTIVE groups to user tokens to fix some
  permission problems on Windows 2003 Server and later.

- Set preferred IO blocksize to 64K for performance reasons.

- Add missing baudrates for serial IO up to 3.000.000 baud.

Updated: typespeed-0.6.4-1

Version 0.6.4-1 of typespeed has been uploaded.

Typespeed gives your fingers' cps (total and correct), typoratio and
some points to compare with your friends.
Typespeed's idea is ripped from ztspeed (a dos game made by Zorlim).
Idea of the game should be clear to anyone: just type and type it fast,
or be a lewser.

If you're not sure what version do you have you can
use the following command to both check version number
and integrity of the install:
% cygcheck -c typespeed
