May I ask WHY this change was made? There is a REASON that DLLs get 
their own package, separate from the "main" package -- it's because 
DLLs' version numbers change, and in order to have both "cygfoo-0.dll" 
and "cygfoo-1.dll" installed at the same time, they need to be in 
separate packages...a single "foo" package won't do the trick.

Granted, popt hasn't changed in about a decade, and is unlikely to 
"bump" to a new DLL number any time soon...but why mess with a working 
nomenclature system for no reason?
