 Does the old script provide something the new one doesn't? It's not developed 
anymore anyway, so if somebody insists so much on using it, they just can 
stick with an old commit, for the same result. But the transition appears to 
be rather simple, so I see little point in staying with it. And it was rather 
confusing to see two different things in the same repo when I was setting up 
my tinderbox.

 I've read somewhere that the most recent Cygwin version has some locking 
fixes. The Win-x86@6-fast tinderbox uses it too (although it's the only build 
running there, so I can't say how much it actually works in practice).
