Thanks Jon,

Can users just rerun Cygwin Setup so that it will update setup.ini and 
reinstall cygidn-11.dll?

Is obsoleting previous dlls something that we should not do on a package 
ABI break?

How should maintainers handle such situations in cygport?

I would like to know the correct approach to take to mitigate this and 
future such situations, before I create a libidn -2 package release.

Packages impacted would include:
