Ah right, thanks. I've looked and yes, I see where you're coming from.

True, however in my defense, http://cygwin.com/setup.html isn't the best
when it comes to the sdesc etc. In all fairness, "sdesc: some text" doesn't
really explain a lot :) However, like I said, I'll reword setup.html when I
have some time.

Fine with me. The only reason I posted the URL was because the packages
themselves had changed too and so I was pointing at the whole bundle.

I never did work out what a rite of passage actually was. Time to hunt
around the Internet I think :)
