ok, right, but I want to build versus the snapshots of code; not versus 
CVS. For one thing, cvs access and ssh access to the outside world is blocked
here from work, and http access is controlled through a javascript-thingy 
which would be difficult (so I'm told) to integrate with CVS. Its also nice
to know that you are building against a given numbered release. 

If possible, I'd like to avoid having to run across dependencies inside
of configure files, hence I'm hoping that somewhere its documented 
(centrally or in someone's head) which packages are dependent on other packages..

ps - I'm looking at CVS right now, and it looks like there are configure/makefiles
common to all of winsup but not part of any given package. Is it possible to build
all the sub-packages separately? 

And are there a list of compilers that people have used to bootstrap cygwin with
(ex: borland?)
