Yeah, I realized my error (faulty memory) just an hour or two ago when
I ran setup again and read the short package descriptions: glib is part
of GNOME, and Cygwin Ports doesn't have a port of glibc. :(

It's not specific to CP-- they host the standard Cygwin distro as well,
which is convenient when a CP package has dependencies.

Yep, this error brought to you by an arguably POSIX-noncompliant
environment running on 52-year-old wetware, which is consequently
subject to bit rot from time to time...
