Are these kindof things taken care of by the cygport program mentioned
in c:/cygwin/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/zlib-1.2.3.README?

Did I download the src package already when I used the cygwin installer
program and checked the src checkbox?

OK, so I thought I would be clever and read the
c:/cygwin/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/zlib-1.2.3.README before posting
another question ;). 

In c:/cygwin/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/zlib-1.2.3.README it says to use cygport.

Hmmm... that cygport program is pretty clever. Why did not the
/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/openssh.README mention this program? I suppose only
some programs use it?

thanks,
Siegfried
