The parrot packages with libparrot0 and libparrot-devel,
plus parrot-perl6 and parrot-languages are updated to 0.6.4-2 for
the Cygwin distribution.

This release fixes the serious issue with running /usr/bin/perl6 and
the other languages /usr/bin/parrot-* without building from source.
See http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2008-07/msg00440.html

Parrot is a virtual machine designed to efficiently compile and
execute bytecode for interpreted languages.
Parrot is a target for the upcoming Perl 6 and a lot of other
languages.
