As was mentioned, the Cygwin project is very far from dead and has
actually never been close to dead. It is, however, like any open source
project and things like the setup program are always under slow,
sporadic development.
The core cygwin dll is under active development and maintenance and most
of the packages in the distribution are under active maintenance, however.
Cygwin probably could benefit greatly if they adopted something like
rpm/yum for packaging, instead of reinventing the wheel.
