Ah, OK.  That makes sense then.  So then I guess these cross-compile
packages don't need the DLLs, right?

Okay, OP here, there's something weird going on here. I started setup
against my local directory this morning and did a search for "ncur" - all
it found was "cygwin64-ncurses: Ncurses for Cygwin 64bit toolchain", under
Devel.

When I rerun setup and go looking at the original site, that same search
gives me quite a bit more, three in Devel, seven in Libs and four in Utils.

And, looking at setup logs from yesterday, it appears only the one (the
64-bit one in my local area) was downloaded.

I've just started another download from the site and it's actually creating
NEW directories in my install area so it looks like it didn't get
everything it needed last time, despite the fact I'm sure I'd toggled the
top-level item to "Install". I KNOW for a fact it wasn't left on Default
since that's a relatively small set of packages (tested by downloading to
another area), nowhere near the quantity I got.

So I'm doing another download now and, luckily, it appears I'm only getting
stuff I don't already have. Once I've done a download that gives me nothing
extra, I'll do a full download to another location and compare. If
everything comes down first time, I'll have to chalk it up to PEBCAK and
apologise (ie, I somehow stuffed up the "Install" setting).

I'll let you all know.
Cheers.
