Actually, it looks like TCP Wrappers 7.6 is already a part of the Cygwin Net
Release, with the maintainer listed as Prentis Brooks. 7.6-1 was committed
on June 26, 2002.

If this was meant as a re-packaging, the release number should be -2.


release/tcp_wrappers/setup.hint:
sdesc: "TCP Wrappers, Tool to provide host based access restrictions in tcp services"
ldesc: "TCP Wrappers, With this package you can monitor and filter incoming
requests for the SYSTAT, FINGER, FTP, TELNET, RLOGIN, RSH, EXEC, TFTP, TALK,
and other network services.

The package provides tiny daemon wrapper programs that can be installed
without any changes to existing software or to existing configuration
files.  The wrappers report the name of the client host and of the
requested service; the wrappers do not exchange information with the
client or server applications, and impose no overhead on the actual
conversation between the client and server applications."
