There are at least two reasons:
1. A device driver (ioperm.sys) is required for running ioperm with NT/2000/XP
2. Windows DDK is required for the driver compilation.

If these drawbacks are acceptable for a standard cygwin package I could start
ioperm integration with mainstream cygwin net distribution.

Any votes? :-)
