You should advertise this much more widely.  Typing "link:cygnus.com AND
NOT domain:cygnus.com" to altavista's advanced search, I get 53,976
matches.  (one of the few types of queries where I like Altavista better
than Google).  Even if I enter a date restriction to include pages
modified since December 1, 2001, I still get 19,000 hits (though some of
these might be old pages that are CGI or server-side-include generated).
Lots of folks are still linking to cygnus.com.

Furthermore I wouldn't be surprised if some of our mirror sites are set
up to FTP from egcs.cygnus.com and not gcc.gnu.org, because no one ever
changed it.
